Want to work in a way that feels spontaneous, authentic and alive?
Do you feel like you’re endlessly sending off self-tapes but never getting anywhere?
Have you lost the reason you became an actor in the first place?
Are you a director who lacks the tools to communicate effectively to get the performance you want from your actors?
I also work in a corporate capacity offering team building exercises, confidence in public speaking and body language awareness through practical acting technique based exercises in one on one and group settings.
My first role was King Midas at 8 and I never looked back. I hold a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Performance Studies from The University of Sydney and a Bachelor of Dramatic Art from the VCA, University of Melbourne. I’m also a graduate of The School at Steppenwolf, Chicago.
I’m currently a core teaching staff member at 16th Street Actors Studio in Melbourne and a sessional teacher at both the Film & TV, and Drama school at VCA. In 2017, I was awarded the 16th Street Acting Teacher's Scholarship which enabled me to continue my menteeship under Audrey Francis who is currently the Artistic Director at Steppenwolf, and allowed me to study under a new mentor, the incomparable Alexandra Billings at Steppenwolf West.
As an actor I have worked for various theatre companies including: The Melbourne Theatre Company, Darlinghurst Theatre Company, Red Stitch & The Hayloft Project and have appeared in numerous commercials, and television including, Offspring, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries & Love Me.
I’ve been working as an actor, coach and teacher for over fifteen years in Australia, the USA and New Zealand. I specialise in helping actors and directors access their Creative Genius to produce bold, unique and magnetic work.
I specialise in the Meisner Technique & Viewpoints fused with my classical acting training and real world experience working in the industry.
