Performance for theatre and film, shaped through action, presence, and structure.

I am a Performance Process Practitioner working with action-based methods to build clear, practical foundations for performance in theatre and film.

For more than two decades, my work has developed across theatre, film, actor training, performance composition, and educational contexts. This experience has shaped a practice grounded in physical action, presence, spatial awareness, dramaturgical structure, and the practical demands of live and screen performance.

My work focuses on the construction of performance: how physical action creates stories, how space plays with behaviour, how text becomes active, and how actors develop performance structures that are precise, repeatable, and alive.

Rooted in Grotowski-informed practice, my approach brings together physical clarity, spatial logic, dramaturgical thinking, and character work within a contemporary professional context. I work with actors and directors to refine presence, intention, rhythm, and structure, supporting performances that remain technically consistent while retaining creative vitality.

My experience in acting, directing, filmmaking, and teaching actors all feeds into this work, but the focus stays practical: building clear actions, coherent scenes, and performances that are ready for stage or camera.
