Lizi has a remarkable ability to make everyone in the room feel heard and valued — something our artists continued to talk about long after the sessions had ended.
James Fogerty
SIN Cru Co-Director
Beyond having a wealth of knowledge and years of practice to teach voice, movement, textual analysis, and character to an expertly high level, Lizi’s ability to read a room or a person is unlike anything I have ever seen. I believe this is at the heart of what makes her facilitation, teaching, and directing capabilities so influential.

She supported me through my first steps, helped me prepare for my first National Youth Theatre audition, where I was successfully offered a place. That became the starting point of my creative journey, which has since taken me from LAIT, to National Youth Theatre, to New Earth Theatre, and Red Ladder Theatre.

Leeds Actors in Training (LAIT) is a studio-based vocational programme for young people, aged 18-25 years, to challenge and develop their performance skills alongside industry-leading professionals.
I founded LAIT 2018 in collaboration with Leeds Heritage Theatres, developing it in response to a call from young people interested in an acting career, looking for alternative high-quality training and skills development opportunities to the traditional (and prohibitively expensive) drama school route. The year-long course is designed to develop participants vocally, physically, and imaginatively, encouraging an independent and in-depth approach to a career within the theatre industry.
