Teaching
I run workshops for students, children, fellow artists. The topics I teach include:
- writing
- performing (everything from understanding text through physical theatre skills)
- improv
- directing
- voice
- audition skills
I always tailor each workshop to the requirements of the group I am teaching. Please get in touch to discuss your needs. Below are some examples of workshops I have taught in the past.
