“Having trained both in the classical British tradition, including text and voice work with teachers such as Patsy Rodenburg, and the continental physical and improvisatory tradition, including work with Simon McBurney and other Lecoq-trained teachers and performers, my particular interest is in finding common territory between these two traditions and in nurturing technique and craft within a theatrical culture which is often overly focused on personal experience and psychology”
