Drama (a-level)
I am a 36 year old freelance actor and director for theatre and film, with a great deal of experience of drama work specifically with young people (directing, coaching and tutoring).
I’d describe my style of work with young people (and adults) as: relaxed but challenging, unpretentious but with high standards, sensitive but honest, fun but thorough.
One of my most memorable experiences was coaching a 7-year old boy to play, single-handedly, the part of Chorus and Boy in a huge contemporary adaptation of all the Henry plays (Shakespeare), called HAL, which I directed in 2000. He was amazing, and taught me just as much as I helped him I think.
I’m patient, friendly, reliable, punctual and very student-focussed.
