“My experience with Grace is an infinitely treasured one. Her passion, positivity and creativity ignited a room and encouraged me to play with focus and joy. She has given me the confidence I need to take my time and space, and the tools for tackling tricky texts. She has also inspired a sense of professionalism that is really invaluable. I can now turn up, with an open mind and heart ready for work, ready for play.”

— Millie Smith, GSMD Acting Alumni

“Grace communicates with the kind of openness and sincerity that inspires people. More than a teacher, she feels like an ally, that will push you to unlock the best of yourself. She will give you the tools and direction to develop your ideas and expand every impulse – while staying true to yourself. She treats everything with care and patience, but brings an energy that makes me excited to keep working with her time after time.”

— Clare Stenning, FONACT student

“It was an outstanding and completely unforgettable weekend and certainly one of, if not, THE best experience I have had at Guildhall. I'm a fairly recent grad (2014) and I'm on the audition panel, as well as mentoring a few of the current students on the Acting course and I only wish I had had the opportunity to carry out the type of work we did with Grace for the weekend during my time on the course. Some of my bravest, most honest, and raw work happened with Grace's guidance and I only hope other students may get the opportunity to benefit from this as I have done.”
