WORKSHOPS

For some years I have lead workshops and masterclasses on the subjects of stress management, time management, self-awareness, self-compassion, mental health, group support, and the pressures of the acting profession in several major drama schools and for commercial companies. Depending on the demands of the course or group, these include a mixture of group and individual exercises, teaching, and Q&As and generally last between 1 1/2 and 3 hours, always tailored to the particular needs of the group.

In my previous career as a theatre director and writer, I lead groups of up to 40 people for almost twenty years.

I’ve given talks in various corporate settings about aspects of mental health, and ran the workshop “Centre Stage: Acting for Anxiety”, a four-session course about using drama techniques to access mental health awareness, for Totally Flawed at Alexandra Palace. I recently ran a workshop exploring how acting techniques can be used for anxiety management and mental health for Leeds Youth Opera, who have made me their advisory therapist.

Do get in touch if you feel one of my talks or workshops could be helpful for your organisation.
