  • When did you start practicing? How did this passion find you?

    I got into acting from an early age and was cast as Joseph and an angel in the school nativity play. It wasn't until a couple of years later that we were performing a scene from a novel, The Silver Sword. I played a character with a rooster, which I substituted
  • Which artists or works affect you the most?

    I grew up in theatre and the energy and atmosphere shared in the moment is incredible. I love film too. Actors, you have to look at the greats, Brando, De Niro, Streep, Pacino. I admire Christian Bale and the transformations he gives, Stephen Graham, Jodie Comer, David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Toby Jones to name a few.
  • What are the qualities and skills required to succeed in this area?

    Dedication to the craft. It takes time and hard work, as with anything. I would say that you need to have a thick skin, as there is a lot of rejection in this industry. So, tenacity and the ability to get up and try again is vital. It is also important that you have fun, because if you are not, then why do it?
  • What is the most valuable advice you can give to help someone stay focused on creative projects?

    Do a little each day. Be creative, even on the days when you don't want to be. Learn a poem, write a paragraph, take photos, paint. Connect in some way to the creative part of your soul everyday to stay fresh and inspired.
  • How would you describe your passion; how does it make you feel?

    I grew up learning stage and theatre, the energy that is shared between the audience and the performer is electrifying and can never be recreated. It is live and it will never happen the same way again.
  • What creative achievements are you particularly proud of?

    When I worked in Taiwan I created the first bilingual theatre company which produced works by locals and expats. In my time we produced over 20 plays and created a platform to share the work of many creative artists.
  • Have you ever been surprised by a student; by their ability or quick progression?

    Yes, I have been surprised by students' quick progression. I credit their commitment to the craft, I can give the tools in the classroom but they need to practice outside of it. The students that show the most improvement, come to class prepared. You put in what you get out.
  • Being a Superprof is an art! What is your secret?

    I teach but I am still learning everyday. I try to remain humble in class and remain flexible to my students' preferences.
