✨ BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND ✨

Following the success of previous workshops, I’m delighted to be opening up another Professional On Camera Workshop for a small group of professional actors.

Over two intensive days we’ll work on TV and film material in a supportive but challenging environment, focusing on truthful, compelling performances that translate on screen.

This isn’t about tricks or shortcuts. It’s about developing the craft, understanding the text and gaining real insight into what happens in the casting room.

Over the weekend you’ll:

🎬 Receive a professionally selected scene before the workshop

📖 Work on fresh pages on arrival, just as you would in a real audition or on set

🎭 Explore character, script analysis and scene work

📹 Develop your on camera technique

🎯 Receive detailed, individual feedback

🎥 Take away professionally filmed scenes for your showreel

As an Emmy Nominated Casting Director, I’ve cast projects including Geek Girl, Curfew, Fing!, Dodger, Whitstable Pearl, Hard Cell, Flowers in the Attic and Play For Today, and I’m looking forward to sharing practical insight into today’s industry and what genuinely makes performances stand out.

📍 Central London Studios
📅 15 & 16 August
⏰ 10:00am to 5:00pm
💷 £200 for both days

Please note: This workshop is exclusively for professional actors.

Places are intentionally very limited to ensure everyone receives plenty of individual attention.

Thrilled to finally introduce the full company of Private Jones.

Finding this cast has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. Bringing together Deaf, hard of hearing and hearing performers to tell this extraordinary true story has been a genuine privilege, and I couldn’t be prouder of the company we have assembled.

Alongside our previously announced leads Rose Ayling-Ellis, Bronwyn James and James Spence, we’re delighted to welcome an incredible cast of performers who will bring Marshall Pailet’s moving and groundbreaking musical to life this Christmas at Southwark Playhouse Elephant. (WhatsOnStage.com –⁠)

A huge thank you to every actor, agent and creative who has been part of this journey. The level of talent we saw throughout the process was extraordinary.

I cannot wait for audiences to experience this beautiful, powerful and deeply human story.

See you in December.
