Jeremy Sheffer

Training includes an MA in Theatre Directing from St Mary's University, and numerous course at the City Lit and the Hampstead Theatre.

Previous productions include fringe productions of "the Memory of Water", "Five Kinds of Silence", "the Lover", and "Stitching", the latter being produced as part of my MA in Theatre Directing, at the Battersea Arts Centre. I have also worked on a number of new plays with the company "Making Drama". For more about my work, please visit my website jeremysheffer.webs.com

I have experience in teaching and directing theatre with diverse groups of students and professional actors. I have experience teaching students at Imperial College, adult ESL students, and 19-25 year olds. Experience with school aged young people has been gained working with Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and volunteering with Chickenshed Theatre. I also work as a facilitator with the Shakespeare Schools Festival.
