Jamie Blake

I'm currently training at RADA on MA Theatre Lab.

After graduating with First Class BA Honours in Musical Theatre, I went on to study at the Royal Academy of Music, earning a PgDip with Distinction in Musical Theatre.

My aim is to develop new work merging the disciplines of naturalistic-style performance and complex new music. I am particularly interested in making the pedagogy of “singing” relatable to the actors' personal vocal technique and how this ties in to physical and emotional stimuli.

As an Associate Artist with Theatre 1880, I have directed two scratch nights (The Vaults & Battersea Arts Centre) and a full length piece; 'Fixed Action Pattern' as a part of 1880's September Double-Bill at The Vaults. I was on Theatre 1880's production team for 'The Australian Girl', which played to a sold-out house at Theatre N16 in November. And lastly, I directed 'Heart Into Mouth', a new short play by Francis Grin at The Bread & Roses, as a part of the Pub Theatre Festival 2018.

I have experience with drag/non-binary performance as a performer and an advisor to others.

I consider myself an actor, singer, writer, director, vocal coach and all-round theatre practitioner.
