Edward McGurn
Edward is a graduate of the Conservatoire, where he studied Acting and later completed an MEd in Learning and Teaching in Arts Education.
He has worked across the UK and internationally as an actor, as well as at other drama schools and institutions. This includes his role as Course Leader for one of the Foundation in Acting programmes at Rose Bruford College and as a Senior Lecturer in Performing Arts at Taylor’s University in Malaysia.
Fair Access and the transformational impact of the arts on people’s lives are causes he is deeply passionate about.
Edward is also a long-time practitioner of Nadine George Voice Work, having studied and practiced it for over twenty years.
Ed’s research and published works include contributions to the Stanislavski Studies Journal (Taylor & Francis), Anthropocosmic Theatre: Rite in the Dynamic of Theatre (University of Huddersfield Press), and Stanislavski & Mindfulness (Routledge). He has also served as a peer reviewer for Taylor & Francis, focusing on the intersection between Stanislavski’s teachings and the philosophies of acting found throughout Shakespeare’s works.
Outside of work he loves to get out in nature, and has a strong passion for architecture. Meditation is his go-to practise for navigating life’s challenges. He is also a qualified hypnotherapist and loves to use this practise to help others.
