Acting Teacher / Drama facilitator / Workshop Leader

"Who knew gaining experience as an actor and experiencing performing in a dramatic fashion could be done with such quick results, passion and fun. Why didn't I start earlier? In saying that it might just be him."

As a teacher, course leader and facilitator, I have taught all ages for over 20 years. Whether it's primary school children on a Saturday wanting fun games and dramatic exercises building confidence and dramatic experience or professional actors preparing for a series regular, my skills are hard to match. Still a professional actor at the cutting edge of the business, my experience remains invaluable and I still enjoy sharing it and passing it down.

About Me

Patrick is not just like any great teacher. Besides knowing his techniques, which he explains very clearly, he brings in his own acting and life experience. He doesn't just tell you what to do, or how to do it. He inspires you and ignites the fire in you that takes your performance to the next level. He's a wonderful teacher and person. Why? Because he is so very passionate and knows how to transfer this into the classroom. He teaches 'from the heart', which means that you will learn more about acting than you expected and also about yourself as a human being. I've recommended him to many friends of mine and I will continue to do so. Trust me, you want this lad as your teacher!

As well as training and performing within the Theatre industry since 2011, I have also taught art disciplines such as acting, singing and dance and dance fitness from the ages of 3 upwards. Some of my performance credits include, Motown The Musical, Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Hairspray and Legally Blonde to name a few. For those that have a keen passion for entering into the Theatre industry, I am able to use my experience to offer professional training across all disciplines and help equip them with tools needed to thrive as a performer. Similarly, for those that enjoy the arts as an extra curricular hobby/space to express themselves creatively, I take pride in holding a creative self space to help my students to unlock self confidence, self belief and their broader imagination as well as strengthening skills such as teamwork, singing, dancing and acting. I am able to hold online classes and work to an international timezone to reach all my students and for those based in London and prefer face to face lessons, I'm able to rent studios or arrange home visits where requested. If you have big goals within the theatre industry or if it's a hobby that you'd like to venture into or pick back up again, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Vanessa :)

Fine arts and mixed media - Drawing, paiting, sculpture, printmaking, and more.
Are you a new aspiring artist trying your hand at creating artwork for the first time? Or do you want to improve your skills with valuable advice on your practice perhaps in preparation for a course of study or to perfect your technique? Contemporary art offers a wide range of possibilities and mediums. Through over eleven years of studying and practicing Fine Arts, I have acquired a deep love and appreciation for traditional art techniques such as traditional technical painting and drawing, and mixed media sculpting but also enjoyed experimenting with uncountable numbers of other unconventional media integrating them with contemporary languages. My course will help you improve your skills or learn from scratch how to get drawings, sculptures and paintings according to your goals.

Abstract Drawing and Mindfulness (A delve into the subconscious)
In this class we will explore drawing through a series of therapeutic art and mindfulness exercises. This class is designed to encourage students to free the mind of judgement and explore the realms of unpredictability and subconscious creation. You will be lead through simple techniques of mark making, pattern and experimental drawing with a focus on breathing and sensation. As well as drawing to music, poems and film, we will be taking a look at a few artists who have worked within the realms of the abstract drawing and the subconscious. The aim of this class is to quieten our conscious mind and place our thoughts completely in the present, in turn creating a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.

Film Studies at academic level: Arthouse cinema, the psychology of film, classical horror narratives, surrealism, and more
I've designed this course to guide you as you delve into key aspects within the film world. Academically-informed and intellectually stimulating, the course encompasses the study of quintessential arthouse films, surrealism in cinema, the intersections between psychology and film, classical horror narratives, oneiric films, and more modules that will allow you to gain valuable knowledge of cinema at an academic level. The course has a clear structure and the activity will include online streaming of a carefully curated selection of films and clips, followed by in-depth analysis and interpretation. We will discuss underlying cinematic themes, psychoanalytical symbolism, stylistic categorisations, meta-references, the larger aesthetic value of the cinematic work, character development, feminist interpretations and critiques, and conceptual frameworks. This course will include several 90-minutes classes; the number of classes can be adapted depending on your interests, needs, pace, and existing knowledge.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.
I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns. In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on. You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns. Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.
