Teaching, Training, and Mentoring
I have been training and mentoring emerging actors and fledgling arts companies and delivering training in the Corporate Sector for much of my career.
My commitment to sustainability, and development and the invaluable importance of the craft and its potential have been unwavering.

Professional Development
I am a true believer that the secret to reaching our full potential as artists in theatre and film is to remain 'performance fit' and to always be ready to learn... at any stage of our careers.
We must look for ways to constantly evolve our talents and craft and to create new opportunities for ourselves and nurture our competitive edge..
I love working with hungry artists in a studio environment and have development sessions that suit beginners through to established artists.

Mentoring
Mentoring emerging and/or young artists and organisations has been a career-long joy for me. I revel in being in the company of young artists who are ready to conquer the world and I believe it is our responsibility as older artists to share our experiences in the hope that new and diversified arts emerge.
Contact me if you’d like to grab a coffee and talk about how a mentor relationship can work.
