Emma Dewhurst is a professional actress with a long and varied career in theatre, TV and film. She has worked with a number of exceptional theatre practitioners, including directors Richard Eyre (National Theatre), Roger Michell (Almeida Theatre) and Nancy Meckler (Shared Experience). In 2020 she became an accredited Transformational Life Coach and has also since earned a qualification in Group Coaching.
Emma is an experienced teacher and facilitator of groups. She was a Visiting Tutor at Lewisham College on their BTEC drama course; led drama workshops for River Drama, a weekly group for SEN children; and more recently has combined her acting and coaching skills to facilitate communication and public speaking skills for young adults.
Emma’s style is warm, friendly and inclusive. All ages are welcome to the Workshops and although this is a drop-in class, Emma hopes that a community ensemble might grow from the more regular participants. There are ten sessions in total between now and Christmas 2024.
This is a ‘Pay What You Feel’ community class supported by Whitstable Umbrella Community Centre. Donations are appreciated but please don’t let lack of means prevent you from attending! All are welcome.
