WORKSHOPS OVERVIEW
Dominic has directed for 33 years at the highest level in factual tv, commercials and features. He trained in method acting with Jack Waltzer and has over 12 years meditation and mindfulness training, Some years ago Dominic realised that combining his mindfulness training with method acting techniques, along with the experience he has gained through working extensively with actors could provide participants with a powerful foundation for authentic acting and/or a healing element in a life-enhancing self-development process.
Dominic has taught people from all backgrounds and ages, including seasoned professionals as well as those with absolutely no acting experience or ambition. He has given in-person workshops in the UK, Portugal and Malaysia, covering mindfulness, method acting, meditation and film & tv directing. He has taught in theatres, acting schools, youth charities, universities, and drug and alcohol treatment centres, as well as leading online courses.
