Acting Teacher / Drama facilitator / Workshop Leader

From 184.47 C$ /h

"Who knew gaining experience as an actor and experiencing performing in a dramatic fashion could be done with such quick results, passion and fun. Why didn't I start earlier? In saying that it might just be him."

As a teacher, course leader and facilitator, I have taught all ages for over 20 years. Whether it's primary school children on a Saturday wanting fun games and dramatic exercises building confidence and dramatic experience or professional actors preparing for a series regular, my skills are hard to match. Still a professional actor at the cutting edge of the business, my experience remains invaluable and I still enjoy sharing it and passing it down.

About Me

Patrick is not just like any great teacher. Besides knowing his techniques, which he explains very clearly, he brings in his own acting and life experience. He doesn't just tell you what to do, or how to do it. He inspires you and ignites the fire in you that takes your performance to the next level. He's a wonderful teacher and person. Why? Because he is so very passionate and knows how to transfer this into the classroom. He teaches 'from the heart', which means that you will learn more about acting than you expected and also about yourself as a human being. I've recommended him to many friends of mine and I will continue to do so. Trust me, you want this lad as your teacher!

Hello,
I hope you are well.

If any of you would like to bring more art into your life, let me know. Relaxed, one to one drawing/painting sessions (depending on your level of experience) based on Right Brain Hemisphere techniques which enable everyone to simply relax and draw/paint.

I have teaching experience (courses, workshops, private lessons) from London, Belgium and Czech Republic. Also, can assist with preparation for GCSE in Art.
If you would like to know more, please get in touch.

I am very looking forward to hear from you.

Acting is a form of expression used to inspire, entertain and enlighten.

These classes would explore self in an objective way that would allow one to be able to portray fun, honest characters.

It would specialize in line delivery, characterization and interpretation.

In this class we will explore drawing through a series of therapeutic art and mindfulness exercises. This class is designed to encourage students to free the mind of judgement and explore the realms of unpredictability and subconscious creation.

You will be lead through simple techniques of mark making, pattern and experimental drawing with a focus on breathing and sensation. As well as drawing to music, poems and film, we will be taking a look at a few artists who have worked within the realms of the abstract drawing and the subconscious.

The aim of this class is to quieten our conscious mind and place our thoughts completely in the present, in turn creating a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.

Are you a new aspiring artist trying your hand at creating artwork for the first time?
Or do you want to improve your skills with valuable advice on your practice perhaps in preparation for a course of study or to perfect your technique?
Contemporary art offers a wide range of possibilities and mediums.
Through over eleven years of studying and practicing Fine Arts, I have acquired a deep love and appreciation for traditional art techniques such as traditional technical painting and drawing, and mixed media sculpting but also enjoyed experimenting with uncountable numbers of other unconventional media integrating them with contemporary languages.
My course will help you improve your skills or learn from scratch how to get drawings, sculptures and paintings according to your goals.

My name is Vanessa and I am an actress, teacher and producer currently based in London, United Kingdom.

As well as training and performing within the Theatre industry since 2011, I have also taught art disciplines such as acting, singing and dance and dance fitness from the ages of 3 upwards. Some of my performance credits include, Motown The Musical, Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Hairspray and Legally Blonde to name a few.

For those that have a keen passion for entering into the Theatre industry, I am able to use my experience to offer professional training across all disciplines and help equip them with tools needed to thrive as a performer.

Similarly, for those that enjoy the arts as an extra curricular hobby/space to express themselves creatively, I take pride in holding a creative self space to help my students to unlock self confidence, self belief and their broader imagination as well as strengthening skills such as teamwork, singing, dancing and acting.

I am able to hold online classes and work to an international timezone to reach all my students and for those based in London and prefer face to face lessons, I'm able to rent studios or arrange home visits where requested.

If you have big goals within the theatre industry or if it's a hobby that you'd like to venture into or pick back up again, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Vanessa :)

ABOUT ME
With over two decades of versatile experience as a producer, actor and public speaker, I bring a wealth of industry insights and practical expertise to our coaching journey. As an actor I have starred in feature films, TV series, and commercials. My own acting accolades include awards for my performances, such as Best Actor at The Mac Film Festival for my role in the international short film "Cinnamon."

Now I've dedicated myself to nurturing the next generation of creators and actors. My teaching philosophy is grounded in a holistic approach, blending proven methodologies such as Chekov, The Method, and Meisner techniques tailored specifically for on-camera acting.

Having conducted private TV and film acting classes and served as a film acting coach for esteemed production houses, including Hollywood based Muse Productions, I've honed my ability to inspire, guide, and mentor aspiring talents.

I believe in fostering an environment that encourages experimentation, growth, and self-expression, empowering students to discover their unique voice and hone their craft with confidence. I'm committed to providing personalized guidance and mentorship every step of the way.

Let's unlock your potential together!

If you are preparing for a drama school audition or a public speaking event, if you are looking to build your confidence and expression through the development of acting skills or if you are keen to expand your creative writing skills as a playwright, I would love to help you.

I am a professional actress and movement director and I deliver one-to-one drama tuition sessions and full day workshops that are tailored to suit your individual needs. I have worked as an acting teacher and public speaking coach for all age groups (from ages 3 - 80!) for 24 years and it is a great passion and privilege of mine to assist in this way, seeing my students' evolution.

I have both a diploma and a degree in Acting (LAMDA, Associate Acting Diploma/ Rose Bruford, BA Hons Acting) and I have trained with Gecko physical theatre company. As well as performing for decades on stage and on screen, I have also run The Bedlam Bunch Children's Theatre and Entertainment since 2007, through which I have written and directed numerous stage plays as well as interactive, immersive shows for children aged 3 - 9 years. I also founded and ran Outburst Theatre from 2010 - 2019 as a platform to bring communities together in South East London via educational theatre projects. As a solo artist, I have written and produced three one-woman stage shows - "Raw Cake", "Through the Hourglass" and "The Wonky Shonky Show" - all performed in London, UK.

I look forward to working with you and being part of your journey!

We can work on a full understanding of the Laban system or actor movement coaching for specific work. Extensive experience teaching with organisations such as LSDA and Central School of Speech and Drama.

- I study interior design at university. I have experience in drawing and painting as I received a 6 in GCSE and an A in A level Fine Art. Till to this day I continue to draw and paint whenever I have some free time.

For the past eight years, I’ve worked as a technician and tutor at the Royal College of Art and UAL, supporting students in fashion, fine art, and product design with their Rhino and Blender projects.

Before that, I worked as a model maker, and now I’m focused on teaching and creating fine art.

Blender.
I offer instruction in creating detailed static renderings, producing digital models ready for 3D printing, and understanding Blender’s workflows for a professional finish.

Rhino.
I'll help you navigate Rhino’s precision tools, preparing your designs for 3D printing and CNC production with an emphasis on detail and accuracy.

Skill Building:
I can guide you through both foundational and advanced techniques in Blender or Rhino, ensuring you develop a strong understanding of the software’s tools and workflows. We'll focus on the areas that best support your creative goals, whether you're looking to create detailed models for product design, render static images for fashion concepts, or develop sculptures for fine art.

Project Development:
If you're working on a specific project, I can support you at each stage—from initial concept and digital modeling to preparing files for 3D printing or CNC fabrication. We'll explore ways to optimize your designs and troubleshoot technical challenges, ensuring your final output aligns with your creative vision.

Art is a means of expression for the mind. Through art, we are able to start to realise our dreams, imaginations and visions.

During this class, you will be guided on how to develop ideas into tangible objects which then aids you in communicating your dreams, imaginations and visions. The class also empowers you to be daring in your approaches through inviting you to test media, approaches and techniques.

Discover the magic of drama! This course is designed to help students of all levels explore their creativity and boost their confidence through acting exercises, improvisation, and character work. Whether you're looking to refine your acting skills, improve public speaking, or simply enjoy the fun of performing, this class provides a supportive and engaging environment to grow. Learn to embody characters, deliver compelling monologues, and master the art of storytelling.

I’m a passionate artist with a background in architecture, specializing in teaching drawing, sketching, and painting. My lessons combine technical skills like perspective and composition with creative exploration, tailored to each student’s style and goals. I aim to inspire confidence and creativity, helping learners unlock their full artistic potential.

Unlock your full potential in communication! Using voice control, body language, and acting techniques, I help you express yourself clearly, connect with others, and build confidence in any situation—whether in conversations, public speaking, or learning new languages. My approach empowers you to open up, feel at ease, and communicate with impact in both life and work!

Being able to bring into existence a beautiful art piece the exact way you perceive it is an exceptional feat. I specialise in the realm of realism and surrealism - and I would like to help others do the same.

In my classes, you will learn the basics of sketching realistic features of people, animals and locations. Building realism through different mediums and techniques, regardless of what level you are in this class will help you reach your realism ideals. No previous experience required, these classes are for anyone with personal artistic goals.
