Sarah Monk

Actor, Lawyer

After six years as a solicitor, I moved to New York and trained as an actor which had been my dream ever since appearing in Panto at the age of five.  Whilst at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, I encountered the Meisner technique - I wanted to find out more when I returned to London. A friend recommended The Actors’ Temple and I completed a year-long intensive with Simon Furness. The training was challenging but I love that it eliminates self-consciousness whilst giving you a system with which you can approach any script.  I now juggle legal work with acting. Having experienced first-hand how much more empowered I was in the workplace as a result of the training, I have become committed to bringing the Meisner principles to business through Temple Training.
