Jamie Wheeler
ACTOR TRAINING AND DIRECTING
Hello! I'm Jamie
I am passionate about actor training. The interrogation of acting and performance is my favourite thing. I am passionate about training and assessment being transparent, open and fair.
​
Student welfare, autonomy and joy are the fundamental tenets of my teaching practice.
​
The work is student-focused. The assessment is student-focused.
​
I've been lucky to teach and direct almost every age and ability and find joy and challenge in each area. I also direct student productions for assessment and public performance.

"Jamie’s understanding of higher education and how constructive alignment works in relation to module guides, learning outcomes and grading criteria, the students also felt reassured and held throughout the process that the work they were doing not only gave them a professional experience but also pointed towards the part of their degree course at the correct level of study.
​
The result was a truly engaging performance with students showing advanced high-level skills. Many of the students were inspired to carry on with the approaches covered in the project because of their experience."

"Jamie has a natural ease in the studio. He was able to creatively engage with the many various speeches the students had bought in, finding interesting and detailed ways to engage them in exploring the material.
Jamie was equally accomplished with the administrative demands of the role, giving clear and useful feedback based on module criteria."
