16: Conor Neaves - Don't Think, Act! - 17.12.23

Are you telling the right story?

Conor is a working-class Actor, Motion Capture Artist, Theatre Practitioner and a fully qualified Daoist Flow Yoga Teacher.

He is an Associate Artist of the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain and regularly facilitates for The Old Vic on their School's Club programme, delivering bespoke workshops to schools from areas with poor arts provisions.

Conor and I talk about sooooo much, but some of the industry observations highlighted are actors neutralising their accents; who’s teaching our future artists, and are they qualified? We also touch upon the genius that is Rory Kinnear. There’s plenty more to unpack, brimming with inspiration.
