Workshops & Conferences

I'm sometimes asked to lead workshops or speak at conferences.
Here's a selection of what I've done over the years:

LEATSS (Luxembourg European Annual Theatre Summer School) 2023
Two courses: Cracking the Character Code (and daring to play) and How to Succeed at Being a Failure (acting in the plays of Anton Chekhov)

The Actors' Space Brighton 2021-22
A series of no-pressure text-based workshops designed to reignite actors' innate playfulness and creativity co-led with creative coach, Jude Schweppe.
