COACHING
"The past six months have been the happiest of my life. Without a tutor like Krissi I'm not sure I would have decided to pursue my dream of becoming an actor. You have really helped me to develop myself as an actor and a person. My confidence is at an all time high and it feels brilliant."

Six months foundation acting course
"Thank you for the last few months. I couldn't have had a better teacher. I truly admire Krissi. For trusting us and making us better actors. I really loved her way of teaching, never judging and always trying to get better in a healthy way. I have learned more than you could imagine."

Acting and Creative Coaching
Over the last 10 years I have coached many young people, adults, beginners & professionals in acting. In addition to private coaching I have taught on the Six Month Acting Foundation Course at the Metropolitan Film School in Ealing Studios, as well as their MA and BA Acting programmes. I have facilitated many workshops here and abroad, took part in panel discussions and lectured at accredited drama schools on the following: Acting & Entrepreneurship, Method Acting, Meisner Technique, My First Day In Film, Casting Actors, Acting for Film.
I do not believe there is one acting technique that fits all and I am influenced by many practitioners: Stanislavski, Sanford Meisner, Mike Alfreds, Uta Hagen, Atlantic Theater Company's 'Practical Aesthetics' and Susan Batson to name a few. I combine some of their techniques with my own. Actors respond differently to different techniques, we will work together to assess what it is you need. I definitely reject any notions that "Acting Is A Blood Sport" as I have so often heard. Acting can and should be fun. Through research and analysis we will find clues that reveal where you and your character meet. I will work towards preparing you for truthful, spontaneous and meaningful performances that are, in the words of Mike Alfred 'Different Every Night'. Email me for prices on private coaching.
Once a year I also facilitate an Artist's Way Sacred Circle, a 12 week programme, to recover and unleash your creativity designed by Julia Cameron. I believe that creativity is precious and should be nurtured so if you are not an actor or performer but would like to awaken your creative side please email to be put on a waiting list.
