Characters Stage School

Bradford On Avon

Characters was set up in November 2010 by Moira Townsend Williams to provide opportunities for children and young people to obtain a performance arts training with a creative ethos. Moira is a producer and writer living in Bradford on Avon, who has also been a professional actor, (trained at Guildford School of Acting) as well as a casting director and theatrical agent. Besides producing shows for Characters, she has produced 15 live shows of her own show The Casting Couch in London’s West End and a TV pilot for Channel 4, and various other film and theatre projects including the launch for Salisbury based Women’s Theatre JUNO. Characters employs teachers and directors who are also working in the industry so that the experience your child receives is always relevant and up-to-date. Current members of the team include Maria Finlay, who has many London acting credits, who teaches and directs our Saturday Stage School at The Arc as well as Little Characters, and Trinity Exam groups, Emma Tierney who teaches/directs our Bath Characters classes, and Megan Ashton who runs our Little Characters group. Past teachers and directors have included Leanne Copley, choreographer and performance arts teacher from St Brendan’s Sixth Form College who headed up the recent partnership with St Brendan's Performance Arts Academy, as well as Tillie Bolton who now runs her own Theatre School TSPA in Bristol. Our Stage Company, which devises new plays for performance, was in 2017 led by award-winning Bristol director Dave Lovatt and Musical Director Helen Temmink. Past workshops have been led by many well known industry professionals including Penelope Wildgoose, a Stroud based award-winning actor/director, David Bond, head of performance at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Sophie Jacobs-Wyburn, who now runs The egg youth theatre in Bath,David Lane, a leading Bristol based director and dramaturge, and Tom Wainwright, who was recently writer in residence at Bristol Old Vic. The vision of Characters is to provide a training that as closely as possible emulates a drama school training, adapted for the various age groups. This not only gives participants a solid foundation in techniques and skills, should they wish to pursue a career in performance arts later on in life, but also develops team building, confidence and self-esteem which are all key to a child’s personal development and happiness – whatever they do in life. Because we are not a franchise, we can keep our fees affordable, and we will always work with parents to swop skills for fees so that our classes are accessible to all.

Hi, so happy and grateful to meet you! I am a German-based psychologist (Dipl.-Psych./BDP), healer, musician, and writer, who specializes in the unique gifts and challenges of High Sensitivity and High Giftedness.  I can help you to explore your unique gifts and powers, be it as a young highly gifted still in school or training, as a creative, parent, or leader in any field.  You know it will be a journey: The unique journey of your personal unfoldment. Being trained in various psychological and holistic fields (Depth Psychology, Energetic Healing, Trauma Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Transformational Group Work, Body Work, Ayurveda) my understanding of the phenomena is both rich and differentiated.  I am very happy to share my knowledge with you to empower you and promote your conscious growth. You can book Video Courses, and 1:1 Coaching Sessions to help you... * Explore your unique form of sensitivity in detail and use it to flourish in life. * Uncover your personal form of giftedness and embrace it both naturally, and openly, be it in the intellectual, artistic, interpersonal, or spiritual realm. * Use your unique inner tools to fulfill your soul's longing: To find the place where you truly feel at home. While holding space for you, I use elements from all my areas of professional expertise:  Gentle psychological exploration, special tools to diagnose your gifts, techniques to balance the nervous system and calm down thoughts and emotions, visualization techniques, mini-meditations, spiritual guidance ... What you personally need will emerge in our encounter naturally. I will help you to derive practical steps for your everyday life, so that each session can continue to work for you sustainably. And about myself? I do love my work. I love being of service and promoting growth and creativity. I am clear, warm, centred, at least while I am working ;), and  I am usually quite joyful.
