My approach is rooted in participatory, human-centered theatre. Drawing from over 20 years of international experience across Africa and Europe—including 10 years facilitating Theatre of the Oppressed—I focus on real-world application, active listening, and interactive forum techniques. Rather than lecturing, I create a supportive, participatory environment where acting becomes a tool for empathy, self-expression, and real change.
Typical Lesson Structure
Warm-up (10 mins): Physical and vocal grounding exercises to build presence and group trust.
Core Technique & Workshop (25 mins): Hands-on exploration of scene work, character development, or forum theatre exercises addressing specific real-life conflict scenarios.
Practice & Facilitation (15 mins): Live acting, improvisation, or step-by-step facilitation training.
Reflection & Feedback (10 mins): Constructive debrief to unpack lessons learned and apply actionable insights.
What Sets Me Apart
With 15 years as a professional actor and over two decades of grassroots field experience, I bring deep expertise in using performance for social impact. I have facilitated workshops in prisons, community centers, and with marginalized groups, giving my training a powerful, practical, and highly empathetic perspective.
Who These Lessons Are For
Aspiring and professional actors seeking authentic, socially conscious performance techniques.
Facilitators, educators, and social change agents interested in Theatre of the Oppressed methods.
Students of all experience levels looking to build confidence, public speaking skills, and creative problem-solving abilities.
