TOSCA VR

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

THE SPACE

Release in March 2020

As Creative Director of Relative Motion, I’m pleased to share that we are creating a live captured VR performance of Puccini’s Tosca.  Set on location in St. Andrew’s Church in Cambridgeshire, we have captured 15 minutes from Act One and have put you at the centre of the story.  


The project has been commissioned by The Space (BBC and ACE) and will be released in March 2020 on YouTube and other supported platforms

NEW THEATRE PRODUCTIONS AND WORKSHOPS

TEACHING

(Brief History)

I have twenty years of experience in the teaching/training of actors and of facilitating theatre training workshops.  From 2007 – 2016 I was the head of movement and a senior acting tutor on the RADA associated Foundation Drama Programme run from the Cambridge School of Visual and Performing Arts. I have facilitated workshops in movement, acting through song, classical text and devised theatre in the UK, France, Canada, and America and continue to develop this freelance teaching practice.  In the autumn of 2017 I ran a series of acting and movement master classes on the MA in Performance at Trinity College of Music (Trinity-Laban) and I am working with Directors UK to facilitate secondary school workshops on Theatre and Film directing. In addition to the above experence, I hold a bachelor’s degree in education with a specialism in teaching performing arts and a master's degree in directing from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.  

Please be in touch if you'd like to discuss having me work with your actors or students.
