Previous Demidov Studio London Lab member, led by Demidov teacher Andrei Biziorek (2022-2024).

    Trained with various voice teachers including Kristina Gutekunst (co author of Voice into Acting) and Amy Mihyang Ginther (founder of Vocal Context) .

  • Writing & Art

    Be it spoken word, in devising processes, or as a tool to connect within in my every day being, the art of writing is in my own experience, one of the most direct way to get in touch with our subconscious, our inner worlds and our thinking heart.

    Other than words and language, I am also intuitively drawn towards sounds that transports you to spaces you’ve never been but somehow know, melodies where memories live, layered sustained tones that hold you, heavy silences that deafen.

    My art practice combines all that I am curious about, and currently that is a weaving of both text and sounds, and using that as a gateway into exploring the depths of our humanity as a society.

Approach

I see my presence in the educational space as a guiding light, an initiator of questions, and a holder of space.

As we move out of the old traditions in acting training, the pedagogical approach frees us from the pressure to be loyal to and master only one technique. This is because though it is possible to master a technique created by someone else, we will never truly be the master of it.

It is essential that actors or any performing artists to realise the need to be a master of their own craft, and yes, it can be that they master one technique and that will connect them to their own genius, but most times, it is from the accumulation of experiences and different techniques that will help each one of us unlock our very own brand of mastery, our own version of the craft.

Though performance is my main canvas, my expansion into writing and sound art have given me more colours and tools to facilitate the exploration of each person in their unique journeys.

What do I offer?

  • You’ve written a show you’re performing in, overwhelmed by the backend workload, and struggling to align with a director who shares the same vision as you?

    As a performance coach in your project, I will be as involved as I need to be in order to fully grasp your vision and guide the creative process in the rehearsal room to get it to where you want it to be.

    Playing the role akin to both a director and facilitator, you will be supported from all sides without the pressure of someone else’s artistic vision clashing with yours.

  • I can provide audition and self tape coaching at short notice, helping you find your feet in the characters and finding ease and play within the framework of the scene.

  • With experience facilitating a diverse range of ages, abilities and cultural groups,
