About
Since 2003 we focus on promoting a passion for the arts. Through workshops, classes and international camps, students develop the skills in all areas of performance for the stage and screen.
I have been working with students around the world for over 25 years (Costa Rica, Colombia, Brazil, Thailand, Kuwait, Turkey, Mozambique, Guatemala, China and the US. I have brought students to perform at festivals across Europe and in Asia.
Currently, I live in Beijing. If you are lucky during our time together, I will be traveling somewhere in the world and i will be able to share interesting experiences and people during our class.
I look forward to sharing my experience and knowledge with students from around the world!
I love working with the young people of the world and watching them learn the skills to develop their creativity and develop their interest in the arts. Whether as an actor, director or script writer, each person should pursue their interest or curiostiy.

I have been in theatre for nearly 30 yeas. I've worked with Stomp and Trestle Mask in the UK as well as attended workshops and festivals in Europe in Asia as both a teacher, performer and student. I also am certified in the IB program through professional development with ISTA

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
If you are interested in the arts, but you are unsure, the only way to find out is by trying it. You have absolutely nothing to lose. The one misconception that people have when they think of getting involved in theatre is that it is only acting. That is only one part of the puzzle. There is the director, the playwright, the backstage, the choreographer, the set and prop builders, to mention a few. Whatever area you are interested in just get involved!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
For Theatre students:
1. Why do you want to get involved in theatre?
2. What do you hope to gain?
3. What is your area of interest?
4. If you are serious, are you ready to commit your time and effort?
