Award-winning writer & director, teaching acting and writing. All levels of experience welcome!

I am a screenwriter who always takes my early drafts to Josh Azouz. His gentle, smart and rigorous approach means I always leave our one-on-one sessions full of new ideas, questions and inspiration to dive back into my work.

I wanted to go to drama school and Josh’s help on my monologues gave me the confidence to go and apply. This year I am starting at Bristol Old Vic!

I've always had a blast working with Josh Azouz. His warm presence and imaginative acting techniques gave me the confidence to be braver in my performances and to trust my instincts.

I am a writer and performer and have worked with Josh Azouz on my plays both in a one & one context and in the rehearsal room. His keen dramaturgical eye and range of practical exercises have been invaluable in helping me develop my craft both as a writer and as an actor.

I know Josh as a playwright and theatre director. Josh’s workshop with the MFA Theatre Directing students was inspiring and provocative. It struck a good balance between insight into how to write plays and collaborate with a director, alongside practical writing and directing exercises. Josh has an engaging manner which creates a safe space for students to share their work.

Josh gave an outstanding online workshop to a group of thirty 18-25 year olds on an acting course I was running at the National Youth Theatre. He enabled the group to unlock their creativity and imagination in a really engaging and exciting way, using a series of brilliant writing exercises I had never come across before. He also delivered a number of in person workshops with a group of Year 10 students who had limited experience to theatre. He was able to work with with a range of young people from different background expertly, with the group instantly warming to his personable and playful demeanour.

Joshua was not just reliable, professional, talented and capable, he was also kind and empathetic. Working with sick children who were having gruelling treatment added many challenges to what was an already complicated programme, noting that the playwright sessions were held online. Joshua had great patience and understanding and went out his way to ensure the children all felt involved with the creation of a script. The end product was impressive and that fact that it was presented virtually at the same time, so the children and their families could watch it together, made it extra special. I strongly recommend Joshua.
