Training

I have been involved in education for over a decade, lecturing at a Film School in South Africa since 2010. I have taught Acting and Voice Over techniques, Movement (Non-verbal Communication), Puppetry, Stop Motion Animation and general creativity skills.  Prior to this I taught workshops in some of the above fields in London, UK.

I also have online training courses available. Below you will find a selection of video tutorials from three online courses.

In 2016 I spoke at the South African Learning NerdCon. Below are a few snippets of the event, but if you would like FREE access to the 38 min workshop, please click here.
