ABOUT
Hi, I'm Henry. I’m an award-winning theatre and filmmaker, actor and creative educator. My mission is to support artists to empower their creative worlds and realise their unique artistic vision.
​
In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, I created The Solo School, born from over 11 years of solo practice and project building.
​
Since then, I have supported and worked with hundreds of artists across the UK, China, South Africa, Germany, France, Italy, New Zealand and the USA. I have supported artists to build their solo projects from the dreaming phase through to completion and sharing work at festivals and spaces across the world. I have helped to support artists in their process of working alone, while also built creative projects across theatre, performance, film, installation and music videos.
​
I believe that every artist should be empowered to create the work they need to make. Whatever stage in your career, The Solo School believes in the stories you wish to tell, and carefully guides each artist to realise the next step in their artistic potential.
​
In my professional life, I have worked in mainstream television and film, delivering projects for the BBC and Netflix, working with multi-award winning theatre and film directors. I have developed two successful and acclaimed performance companies in the UK, toured globally with internationally celebrated theatre groups, and developed experimental film projects. I have a rich and varied experience in the creative arts and can support you to discover and inspire your pathway.
​
I also have taught at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, the Estonian Academy of Music and Performance, Plymouth Conservatoire, Manchester Metropolitan University and through my own workshops worldwide.
