Beth Henry
ACTOR WRITER
She graduated from the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham, with a 2:1 in BA (Hons) Acting and Performance summer 2023 - at which point she relocated and is now based in Brighton and is seeking work in both London and Brighton.
In her studies, Beth has been trained in the methods of numerous practitioners - most notably: Stanislavski, Bertolt Brecht, Mike Leigh, Atonin Artaud and Uta Hagen. Alongside her studies, Beth has been developing her love for writing by frequently sharing her work on an Instagram dedicated to her writing, entering her work to the Writer's Room workshops and hopes to publish some of her work in the future.
BACKGROUND
She has undergone training for stage, screen and radio acting, stage combat and movement workshops as well as having singing, intimacy and voice lessons.
Beth has had the immense privilege of working under industry professionals such as Steve North - a successful screen actor, well-accomplished stage presences such as: Darrell Brockis and Joe Evans from the West End; long-time West End and Broadway theatre director Giles Croft, talented actor and upcoming writer Sally Rogers and recent Olivier Award Winning Theatre Company, The Little Bulb.
TRAINING
She is extremely excited about venturing into plays and musicals on the West End and anticipates needing representation for this journey. Beth particularly enjoys pieces that require physical exertion with dancing and singing or emotionally challenging pieces - often favouring tragedies or comedies. She also aspires to develop some of her devised pieces into plays and publish a collection of her self-written monologues for stage.
Asides from stage work and writing, Beth desires to reach further into the world of screen and voice acting and is very interested in being a part of passion projects as Beth aspires to help others get their voices and stories heard through the mediums of acting and writing.
