About Cecilia
I am a professional stage director. I run Scena Mundi Theatre, a London-based company specialising in the modern staging of classical plays. Check us up at (concealed information)
I love story-telling, literature, and the incredible power of the theatre.
I am Anglo-French and trained in English literature and classical acting, specialising in the medieval and Elizabethan periods. I have staged plays by Shakespeare, Marlowe, TS Eliot etc...
I have worked as an academic and an actress, but stage directing is my real passion - and the job I do best!
I love and admire actors and drama students. Throughout my career, I have consistently endeavoured to bring out the best of their talent to their work.

SESSIONS TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS.
If an actor does not understand perfectly the lines s/he is performing, neither will the audience.
In order to stand out as an actor of period repertoire, you need to understand fully the meaning of your lines, of course, but also to be aware of the historical context, the subtleties of the language, the technique of verse and prose speaking. If you are well trained, you will understand the pleasure of tackling beautiful texts, and the joy of sharing them.
As a specialist of period drama, with a dual experience of professional directing and of academic tutoring in literature, I will equip you with that much needed knowledge, helping you become a skilled and intelligent classical actor able to thrive in playing the classics, from Shakespeare to Harold Pinter and Caryl Churchill.
Under my direction, in one or one-and-a-half hour lessons, you will acquire the tools you need not just to perform one piece, but to tackle any classical piece you may come across in your career. Whether you need to nail that one "speech" for a particular audition, or to study a full part, I guarantee that you will learn techniques to master lines which may feel daunting at first sight. I will help boost your confidence with scripts that actors find challenging.
My productions with Scena Mundi Theatre have been praised for the exceptional clarity of their textual work and the excellence of the actors' performances. I will share my knowledge with you.
I teach individual sessions but will also consider pair/group coaching.

I don't know anyone more passionate for Theatre and Acting than Cecilia. She is so experienced, and her knowledge is vast.
Cecilia has directed many professional productions which is where we first met. I have learnt so much from her, and love being in a rehearsal room with her.
Cecilia is excellent at explaining scripts/text, and is very generous with her time and energy.
I highly recommend Cecilia.Cecilia is brilliant! She has taught, directed and advised me for over 12 years and has been an absolute pleasure. She has an incredible depth of knowledge but is also deeply caring and wants the best for her students. She has helped me with everything from acting to text analysis and University essays. She has helped and improved my professional life enormously. Also, she is simply lovely! 10/10 recommend.
I have known Cecilia as a professional working colleague for 12 years. I have worked on many projects where she directed actors, both experienced and those new to acting. She has coached me on a number of acting roles and taught me techniques for line learning, understanding text, connecting to character, breath and rhythm in verse and prose. She is highly skilled and a good listener, and is able to coach to another level. Passionate with a wicked sense of humor!
