My professional edge
Experience Beyond The Rehearsal Room
I draw on professional work in acting, directing and teaching. You get advice rooted in real performance settings, not theory alone.
Training that fits your reason for coming
I shape each workshop around your aims and confidence level. That helps you make steady progress without feeling pushed into a fixed format.
Creative work with everyday value
I use performance to strengthen communication as well as expression. You leave with skills that can help in auditions, presentations and group situations.
Build performance skills with real industry insight
I bring a strong theatre and performing arts background to every session, giving you practical acting workshops shaped by real experience. My work covers professional acting, directing and teaching, so you get guidance that balances creativity with clear technique.
If you're preparing for auditions, developing your stage presence or trying to speak with more confidence, I tailor the workshop to what you need most. I also run sessions in presentation skills, creative writing and performance-based confidence building, which makes the learning feel useful well beyond the stage.
Alongside my creative work in the art gallery, Liz Lees's Art provides these workshops in Durham for aspiring actors, adults, schools, community groups and businesses. That means you can use performance training to strengthen anything from audition pieces to classroom participation or workplace communication.

Sessions shaped around your goals
My workshops are personalised, not pulled from a one-size-fits-all script. I can focus on audition preparation with text work and delivery, or help you develop stronger communication for presentations and public speaking. Creative writing workshops add another layer, helping you explore character, voice and storytelling from the inside out.
