Matt Peover FHEA
Acting Coach
I have a unique teaching and directing process developed over 24 years of exploration and play and enquiry into the nature of acting.
​
Beginning with the grounding of the body and the interplay and balance between inner and outer and the body in space, I work with encountering text in a unique way to start with the animal impressios and senses rather than leading with head-based comprehension. At the core of my work is a refined understanding of Stanislavski and Micheal Chekhov, which I develop towards the use of a version of Chekhov's physchological gesture to create exquisitely detailed and alive characters which utilise and stretch the actors' imaginations and bodies.

Classes and workshops
I offer masterclasses in comedy, devising practise, Shakespeare and Michael Chekhov, or direction of workshop productions and scene studies.
Showcases
When directing final year productions I bring a clear and bold approach and aesthetic whilst also continuing to support and challenge the students in their transition from student to professional.
