• “Claire has an enviable passion and knowledge that consistently shines through when working with her in both an artistic and scholastic sense. I have been fortunate enough to have worked in the West End and regional theatre for the past decade and any time I’ve found myself at an expressive or educative block, I’ve always found Claire’s support, as well as grasp on the industry, character and text extremely valuable.”

    Dom Hartley-Harris, Actor - West End

  • "Claire was the best director I have ever had, I learnt so much and my comfort on stage reached levels it never had before."

  • “The best conversations I’ve had about Shakespeare have been with Claire. Her research runs deep, but she manages to distil it into insights that are immediately useful and genuinely powerful. I’ve never left a session with Claire confused or uncertain, only inspired, with a series of “aha” moments. What makes Claire’s approach special is her ability to connect the deeper, trickier layers of Shakespeare’s language and the historical context with the practical realities of acting today.”

    Kieran Garland, Actor- RSC, NT, West End

  • “I have been lucky enough to work with Claire in both an academic and creative capacity. I found her to be tremendously helpful with my approach to Shakespeare and really allowed me to have some freedom to create a character whilst staying true to the language. Her knowledge and understanding of a text is really freeing as an actor to work.”

    Chris Erasmus (Mountview), Actor and Musician

  • “Claire encouraged a sense of freedom for me to explore the craft of acting in order to discover what approaches and techniques work for me, she left me feeling empowered on a professional and personal level."

  • "We could not have asked for a better director, I learnt so much from our scene studies and understand myself as a performer a lot better, too."
