SHOW MAKING
Every class/workshop is both informative and entertaining, catering to all levels, ages and abilities, whether casual one off or as an ongoing class leading to presentation.
Performer Development
If you want to push yourself as a performer, undergo a creative process that is both rigorous and disciplined, and discover new ways to give your work it's unique edge, get in touch.
I have years of experience in getting the best out of performers and offer a holistic approach to act development, with knowledge in both direction & choreography but also script, costume, music editing and prop/set design.
From dance technique tuition, choreographic services, show development and devising, script writing assistance, or just a standard, how to 'art'? - I might be able to help!
'Elizabeth runs a tight ship, so I know that it will be a lot of hard work, but that leads to incredible results.' - Zelia Rose, Miss Burlesque Australia 2014
