Send us a text

Adam Robert Lewis sits down (virtually) with acting coach, John Osborne Hughes

John began training as an actor on the Hampshire County Specialist Speech and Drama Course. He then trained for three years at The Academy of Live and Recorded Arts known as (ALRA) in London . Following his training John then went on to do a further two years as a stage director, with teacher Sam Kogan, in association with The Moscow Institute of Theatre Arts. Through John's thirst for a deeper understanding of the laws of acting and grounded by his background in the System of Stanislavski, he began an in-depth study of the laws of Psychology and Human Zoology and endeavoured to explore their application within the context of the art of acting.

The system that evolved was then further enriched by the study of Mythology and Philosophy, this proved to be the master key in helping the actor to develop charisma and stage presence and it was at this point thatThe Spiritual Psychology of Actingwas born.

John has taught extensively in London, Berlin, New York and Los Angeles, as well as presenting courses online to theatre and film professionals from all over the world.

John's technique begins with the assumption that to build a character, you must first fully understand your self. Only in doing so can you begin to examine a character outside yourself, because you'll be free of the internal baggage that hampers your creativity, imagination, and empathy.  John’s approach to acting is considered by many to be the cutting edge of actor training available in the world today.
