I studied Shakespeare and text at the University of Oxford (BA History & English) before training and developing my understanding of performance approaches at LAMDA (MFA Professional Acting) I was awarded the Society of London Theatres Laurence Olivier Bursary.
I support actors and non-actors to comprehend and embody complex text - classical, contemporary, and Shakespeare. My practice is based in the work of Mike Alfreds, Stanislavski, Katie Mitchell, and Meisner, as well as clown / games exercises.
I hold CPD qualifications in areas including Equality, Diversity & Inclusion, Adverse Childhood Experiences, and LAMDA Exams, and I am DBS-checked. I will be working towards a Level 5 Diploma in Teaching (FE & Skills).
