The next one-week intermediate course will run from Monday 12th to Friday 16th October. Class times, location and cost are the same as for the foundation course. Please message me if you have done my foundation course and want a spot. If you have not done foundation but have studied Meisner with someone else, please get in touch to see if it would be suitable for you.

The next advanced course will start in January 2027, details to be announced. Please let me know if you are interested.

I also give private coaching classes in Amsterdam and surrounding areas. I can help you prepare for an audition, a part you’ve already booked or a meeting with a casting director or agent. I currently charge €70 for one hour of coaching within Amsterdam. If you are a current student of mine, you will get a discount. Get in touch with me and let me know what you need.
