"The ACS classes are like a breath of fresh air – such a great feeling to have finally found acting training that actually builds skills up step by step, instead of the chaotic mixture of pointless exercises that seems to make up the content of most acting classes out there."   Alexa Ispsas

‘Fail.  Fail again.  Fail Better.’  - Samuel Beckett

 
I don’t make ridiculous promises about fame and fortune. I just teach committed students to act.  I teach a no-nonsense technique called Practical Aesthetics that I learned from its originators in New York City.  A practicable acting technique needs to be reliable in all circumstances.  That’s what I teach:

Practical:    Capable of Being Put To Use

Aesthetics:  A Theory of Art

I have made a study of acting techniques all of my life and have trained in many methodologies, I can tailor exactly what I teach to your particular requirements. 

For me, it isn’t about pretending to be someone else, it’s what Sanford Meisner called

living truthfully under the imaginary circumstances of the play’

The craft of acting should be simple and fun.

My approach is suitable for all ages and all levels, although our classes are RESTRICTED TO 17+YEARS.  I am happy to work with complete beginners, students who want to audition for drama school or established actors who want to revitalise their craft.
