Acting & Devising

For more than a decade Pepa has trained actors and drama students in acting and devising. Teaching how to begin from a place of vulnerability and to include a political drive, Pepa invites participants to explore ideas that can challenge themselves and others. Pepa's practice combines movement with improvisation technique, and provides training in playfulness, how to take risks, and build on other people’s ideas. Recent work includes: ‘Radical Devising’ with GRAEAE Ensemble & RADA and ‘Three circle method for creative ideas’ with Foreign Affairs.

Applied Theatre

Pepa currently works as a drama facilitator for Old Vic Theatre, Tender & Education, Cherwell Theatre, KIT theatre and Southwark Playhouse. She has led and designed workshops for King’s College, Latin American Women’s Right Services and Routes.

Improvisation

Pepa began teaching improvisation in 2019. Throughout her career she has developed workshops for a wide range of people from children to young people, adults and professional actors. Pepa also uses techniques at the heart of improvisation for workshops in the workplace.

Creativity for work
