TEACHING

The best theatre comes from observing the world and incorporating what we experience into the stories we tell and characters we create.

This is what I’ve taught people of all ages all over the world for almost two decades, whether they are students in schools, universities or conservatories; theatre professionals and enthusiasts; circus artists; or performing athletes.

I have had the joy of learning from some of the most respected names in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia.

My passion is sharing that knowledge with others.
