Profile Information
- What I do... (Actor, director, designer, teacher etc?)
- Actor/director/acting teacher/writer
- My Quick CV
- I trained as an actor at the Actors Workshop in 1969, London's first Stanislavski-based acting school, and worked widely in rep, tours, small-scale theatre, the West End, Royal Court and Young Vic, radio, film and TV. I started directing and teaching acting in 1979 and did many productions for schools such as Rose Bruford and East 15, where I ran the Post Graduate Course for three years. I also co-ran two companies, directing acting workshops, showcases and productions. In 2007, I published Acting on Impulse - Reclaiming the Stanislavski Approach (Methuen Drama) to clarify his process and correct the many distortions, misconceptions and mystifications.
- The first thing that inspired me in theatre...
- Arnold Wesker's plays
- My favourite theatre something is...
- Touching the truth of human experience
- The thing that annoys me about our industry...
- Praise for mediocrity and mannerism, and the low value placed on the Arts
