Who we are

ALL IN ACTORS has been set up by Stephen Sobal and Ami Sayers who have a wealth of experience in teaching and training actors. We are passionate about celebrating our students and supporting them in whatever they hope to achieve.

What we believe

Ultimately we aim to achieve one goal, which is to unlock a person’s potential and to embrace who they are. This is the very foundation of ALL IN ACTORS - celebrating your potential.

Why Us?

If you are looking for a fresh and challenging approach to building your skills and your confidence, then ALL IN ACTORS is the place for you.

We will discuss with each individual at the start of the course what they would like to achieve and build a plan that will help them get there.

If further training on a 3 year course at drama school is your goal, we offer advice to help you through the application and audition process.

**Samuel Adebayo**
**ACT 3 - Movement Teacher**
My name is Samuel Adebayo. I am a creative and movement practitioner from London. My practice has influences from Laban, Gaulier, Lecoq, Jane Gibson and animal flow.
My ethos is that there is a connection between mind, body and spirit. And in order to get the full experience of our existence and expression, we have to do the work of connecting all three. I believe this to be our birth right, but some how in the modern world, this is no longer as accessible to us. Through undulation of the spine and loosing the joints in the body, we can begin to open portals to our primal, creative and spiritual instincts. Thus coming back to ourselves.
My work is to help as many people as possible know and embody this experience of freedom through movement.
