I have a BA (Hons) in Drama and French from London University, and a Postgraduate qualification from the Webber Douglas Drama School in the UK.  I trained in Lee Strasberg’s Method with Anna Strasberg, among other teachers; in corporeal mime with Decroux’s original assistants Steve Wasson and Corinne Soum; and in improvisation with Peter Brook’s assistant Sylvain Corthay at the Sorbonne as an invited participant over the course of a year.  I have also worked with comedy improv groups in the UK and South Africa, as well as West End singing improv, culminating in the show Rain Dogs, directed by Andrew Macbean.

Acting-wise, I have been in over 40 TV and film productions, most recently the lead in an action film. I have played leading roles in many theatre productions in the UK and South Africa, including the award-winning musical Blood Brothers on tour and in London’s West End.

I have also worked in casting for many years in London-based acting studios with top UK casting directors, and I set up and ran an actors’ agency in South Africa.

My approach to teaching voice and acting is based on extensive experience at a high level, with a broad grounding and perspective in different approaches to performance, as well as a clear understanding of what is required and expected in the professional world, both locally and internationally.
