Acting is a variety of opportunities: it's playful, as an actor you can work in different fields, theatre, film, voice-over and radio.
I can help you to grow and be confident to get into the acting school or into work. Furthermore, I can teach you how to be able to work independently on a role.
With children I love to jump into improvisations and see and guide where it goes to create something magnificent.
If you need more confidence in public speaking I am all ears and will help you to gain the confidence.
Moreover, we can work on Radio podcasts as I have over 10 years experience in directing, producing and hosting podcasts.
What ever it is you want to work on, or refresh your knowledge I'll pick you up where you stand.

Depending of the spaces (Webcam or on location) the class would differ.
My main aim is for people to have access to a system of learning through which they can absorb and understand a practice that they could then bring with them wherever and whenever they want.
My way of teaching involves for the moment 17 different chapter, involving improvisation tools (Movement), theatre exercises, stretching and fitness.
All the classes are customised according to the students needs and objectives.

I specialize in coaching adult learners in spoken and written English.

I hold a level 3 Adult Teaching Certificate and as a graduate of the full-time acting course at LAMDA, the use of English and the ability to communicate and understand has always been at the heart of my professional career as an actor for 25 years but also my business career for over 20 years.

I have always been passionate about the need of most individuals to optimize their
employability by their use of language in written and spoken communications. Once they have acquired.fluency of these key areas, they will develop the self-confidence that will get them past their first interview for a job and behavioural flexibility to secure and retain the job if they want it.

For many years, I have taught Voice to professional adults including politicians, marketing and sales executives and designers. This was derived from what I learned at LAMDA where I was taught by some of the best voice teachers in the world.

My class was designed to learn how to be more effective in spoken and written communication in English. How to engage, how to listen, how to understand, how to be dynamic etc... Each class is one hour. Many have told me that what they learned from this class has helped them to develop and grow their self-confidence
especially when applying for jobs.

I have enormous experience in communicating with people at all levels and from different
backgrounds. I strongly believe that communication is the key to employability.

I also have considerable experience of organizing and formatting processes which are
aligned to assessing and training requirements. For over twenty-five years, I have
assessed Parliamentary Candidates for a major political party and for the past twelve
years, I have been organizing and Facilitating them both face-to-face and since the
pandemic online as VADs or Virtual Assessment Days.

The biggest barrier facing any adult learner who is also in employment is trying to balance the conflicting demands of employment with the competing demands of a formal course which has its own timetable. Whether the employment is full-time or part-time, there are always just so many hours in the day. So rest assured, I can be completely flexible to suit your timetable.

Ciar is a recent graduate of Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance; a versatile queer dance artist freelancing in London with a background in Hip-Hop, Circus Arts, Classical Ballet and Contemporary dance.

I hope to offer everyone an exciting and enjoyable time whilst pushing thier physical capabilities. Dance should be fun!

My class explores a choreographic style of contemporary dance with clear influences from Cunningham technique and my recent expirience working with Jason Mabana. The work will challenge your coordination, rhythm, attention to detail and demostrate a contemporary application of classical teachnical forms, but all through explorative and original material.

The class is structured like any other technical class, each exercise desinged to methodicaly warm up and work the body, building on the previous exercises, before culminating in a longer choreography where we can pull everything together and just have a boogie.

I can tailor the work to each student however I would reccomend having some technical expirience, classical or contemporary.

Want more clarity, calm, and better relationships — without the spiritual jargon or endless theory?
I’ve spent over 10 years studying Eastern mysticism and tantra. What I’ve kept are the practical tools that actually improve everyday life: how you handle stress, how present you are with people, and how clearly you see your own patterns.
This is not about becoming a monk or adopting a new belief system.
It’s about usable wisdom you can apply the same day.
What we cover (tailored to you):

Simple practices for presence and emotional steadiness
How to reduce reactivity and overthinking
Clearer decision-making and self-awareness
Better energy and connection in relationships
Grounded insights from tantra (without the hype)

Sessions are straightforward, down-to-earth, and focused on real results rather than philosophy.Ideal if you want more inner quiet and outer effectiveness — without the fluff.
