Training

An actor is on a constant quest to learn - whether this is in a formal classroom, workshop or just through being around other professionals in the rehearsal room, on stage or on set, everything we do constantly helps us develop as performers.

I have been lucky and privileged to undertake a whole range of different classes and workshops around the world - each of which appealed to me at different times and for different reasons - learning different techniques and skills. No two actors will have had the same experience or followed the same path and each must discover their own journey. Some did not make sense or did not resonate at the time but all are part of my journey. Here are some of the practioners I have had the privilege to work with and learn from. I am also thankful for the various books I have been introduced to and have listed some which resonated with me here for you to explore.
