Venetia

I am a freelance actor currently working in children`s educational theatre with a Master`s degree in Acting from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts and a Bachelors degree in English Literature and Drama from the University of Manchester. I also have a foundation diploma in Fine Art from the Royal Drawing School and I very much enjoy drawing and painting. I am very creative and enjoy making learning as interesting and rewarding as possible.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: Private tutor at Figtree Learning, March 2018-2019
At Figtree I tutored in English literature and language, as well as film studies and fine art. I worked with primary school students up to college students and tried to tailor each class to their specific learning needs as everyone is different. I prepared each session in detail and sourced the materials for learning.


Freelance Workshop Leader at CLIP Theatre October 2019 till present
At CLIP theatre, I am part of a small team of performers and I run 3 to 4 classes every day in venues across south west London, each class lasting around 40 minutes (now on zoom due to Covid). I learnt the ukulele on the job for this role as each class relies heavily on music and performance. Clip`s ethos is to encourage sensory development in a creatively engaging way, so if my puppets fly high up in the sky and I encourage the babies to be lifted up too. Bubbles and magic wands and a US Election themed class are various highlights of the job and it has allowed me to develop my facilitation and leadership skills greatly.

Volunteer for Citizens UK, in their PACT project MumSpace, June 2018-2019
At Pact, I helped lead workshops for mothers and their children in which I would perform puppet shows, painting, cooking and arts and crafts workshops and read to the children. It was my responsibility to look after the children, to help with organizing activities and to ensure that everyone was playing safely.
