      Actor - Writer - Performance Coach

      My coaching focuses on writing and performance; as a writer I look at creating the characters of the story, with their backgrouands as I then develop the story line with with each character and story and this works in line with performance because it allows the actor to find the finer detail in storytelling moving away from portraying a character with generalized emotion to such extent that when an actor gets a script, works on it from the eye of the writer and the eye of a performer allowing them to be able to interpret text and develop their own unique performance.
