RSC & National Theatre Director. Conservatoire tutor at Central School of Speech and Drama & Royal College of Music. Expert Acting, Drama School Audition Coaching & Career Mentoring.

I don't think I would be on stage if it wasn't for Jo , she joyfully got me to feel confident in Shakespeare , musicals and dramas. Working with Jo means you get to benefit from her years of experience and passion about acting and story telling .

I was fortunate enough to have Jo teach me acting and musical theatre at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. Her classes were a total highlight of my time there. I was completely inspired by her creativity and passion and I have carried so much of what she taught me into my career. Jo showed me how to collaborate with directors, company members and my fellow actors as well as what a safe, exciting and creative room should feel like. So much of what I’ve learned from Jo has made me the actor I am and my time as her student was one of the most joyous and fulfilling times of my education.

I am a musical director and have worked with Jo in both educational establishments and top opera houses, as well as in the West End. She is the most brilliant acting coach and director I know - the way she works with students and professionals alike is inspiring and detailed, always getting the best from everyone and really allowing them to shine.
Her knowledge and experience is hugely varied and her approach personal and extremely encouraging, whilst coaxing people to their absolute best.
To be able to work with Jo is like gold dust...
