I can’t express enough how much John’s Theatre Scene Study (Weekend Intensive) has impacted me, especially as someone new to theatre.

John’s approach of allowing actors to explore and push boundaries is simply amazing. The safe space he cultivates within the class allowed me to fearlessly delve into characters and emotions, pushing me beyond my comfort zone.

John’s guidance provided me with invaluable insights into acting and a deeper understanding of who I am as both an actor and an individual. I wholeheartedly recommend John’s class to anyone passionate about acting.

John’s Theatre Scene Study (Weekend Intensive) was a perfect forum to delve deep into scene work and have the chance to explore, question and play around with a group of game and committed actors.

I had been looking for the chance to reimmerse myself in theatre in a thoughtful, fun and focused way, and this session allowed me to do so under John’s astute and helpful guidance.

As a predominantly film/tv actor I was intrigued when I saw the Theatre Scene (Weekend Intensive) come up and it did not disappoint!

As always John fosters an environment where actors feel free to explore, take risks and push themselves out of their comfort zone. John is a master at script analysis and to have the opportunity to sink into larger scenes and more text was invaluable.

If you want to grow as an actor in whatever medium you perform in, take this course!

John’s knowledge and insight are tremendous. I had known he was a good on camera coach, but working with him on a great theatre script was a true joy.

From his scene selection to his kind guidance, the whole weekend was great. John’s theatre knowledge is strong, and his desire to help actors to be their best is always front and centre. It was a great workshop..

John has this beautiful gift of truly seeing you. I’ve had the joy of training with John in his On-Camera Scene Study classes since 2018. When I found out he was teaching a Theatre Scene Study (Weekend Intensive) I jumped at the opportunity and was not disappointed. I left feeling inspired and invigorated by the work.

When you train with John, it’s always a collaborative experience as he meets you exactly where you’re at. His ability to make you feel safe and to encourage you to show up simply as yourself is unlike any teacher I’ve worked with.

John’s intuition and sensitivity to his students gives one the space to try anything and to explore ideas one would otherwise have been afraid to. It’s so easy to get bogged down and cynical by this industry, but somehow when I train with John I’m humbled again as he ignites the humor, honesty and freedom I seek in my work.

The weekend theatre intensive is great because John gives you lots of space and permission to make strong choices and take risks.

You have time to dive into complex characters and you get to really think about physical space in relation to the scene. I’d highly recommend it!

John’s Theatre Scene Study is intensive and invigorating. You will analyse the script from its broadest message to its most exacting detail and understand how they relate and reinforce each other.

John’s ability to support, guide and challenge in equal measures ensures that you learn in a safe and encouraging, yet disciplined environment.

I strongly recommend it without reservation to anyone wanting to sharpen their skills.
