Theatre Direction and Acting

​

I trained as a Teacher at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (1968-71) and acted professionally as Miranda Jaquarello (Stratford East, Wolsey Theatre, BBC and Granada TV.) 

I act, run workshops and direct plays for local and professional groups. 

I co-directed Far East  Youth Theatre Company, an award theatre company at Paston College for 25 years and co-founded, directed and produced for fEast theatre, a professional touring company in East Anglia. 

​

My experience lies in both classic and modern plays as well as adaptation, community and forum theatre. I have a musical background and was in The Vital Disorders, a ska punk band, as well as playing classical piano and cello.

​

Having taught and directed both youth theatre and professional theatre for many years, I have returned to performing .

Teaching​

​

 I offer courses for teachers, practitioners, students, young people & business people. The tasks are designed to be failsafe, challenging and enjoyable. I have recently travelled to Stuttgart to deliver my Course, Shakespeare With Young People to a dual language classroom.
