ABOUT
I’m an acting and performance coach with over 30 years’ experience as an actor, singer and specialist director working across theatre, film and television — from classical Shakespeare and musical theatre to contemporary drama, serial TV and feature film. I have taught and developed talent throughout my career, working in studios and major academies across Australia, Canada, Europe and the UK.
I’ve coached, trained and choreographed countless performers who have gone on to work with companies such as Sydney Theatre Company, Opera Australia, ABC Television, Film4, Disney+, Netflix, major feature-film producers, and stage production houses across the UK and the West End.
As a certified fight and intimacy director, I’m deeply involved in actor physical preparation, movement training and coordination for both theatre and film. I am currently a resident Movement Lecturer at East 15 Acting School, training actors in movement, character work, and specialist practices in stage violence and intimacy.
My teaching is rooted in the Meisner approach, while drawing from the work of Uta Hagen, Stella Adler, Cicely Berry, Kristin Linklater and a wide range of physical performance methodologies. The breadth of my experience places me in a unique position to support performers holistically — offering grounded, practical guidance in whatever direction their craft needs to grow.
My aim is simple: to bring the very best out of every performer I work with — whether you’re training for theatre, film, musical theatre, opera, or professional presentation. I foster a warm, supportive community through classes, drop-ins, play readings and development sessions, creating a safe and dynamic space to grow your craft with confidence.
