About Bel
I'm an intersection-feminist, environmentalist, ukulele-playing, theatre maker with a love of directing, acting and writing.
Passionate about environmental sustainability, representation, and accessibility in the arts, I'm a strong believer in the power of theatre to be a force for positive change. I've performed in over 38 theatrical productions and 3 of my plays have been published by Australian Plays.
In 2014 I co-founded the independent theatre company, Wit Incorporated, based in Melbourne's inner west, where I was Artistic Director from 2014 to 2020. There I created the children’s outreach program, Wit Kids (2016), which continues to provide low-cost after school drama classes to children.
Since my return to Aotearoa I've focused more on my love of directing. I relish the opportunity to chat about acting technique - the exploration on the rehearsal room floor is my happy place! I bring this same excitement and passion to my teaching. I look forward to discussing your work and getting you started on your performance journey!

Perfect! Bel creates such a warm and safe environment. I really appreciate the different warm up exercises to get me out of self-consciousness. I’m grateful for her openness to hear my ideas and what I most was searching for is someone who can guide and lead me in the right direction with the questions I have. And Bel does exactly that. She both challenges and encourages. And I really appreciate it. Great first lesson!
- Such an awesome first in person lesson. Ka rawe! I'm impressed with your attention to detail, you've used your research time wisely and looked carefully at the script. I'm looking forward to seeing you trust in your preparation, let go and have fun!Bel's response :

Thoroughly recommend Bel. Has a wealth of knowledge, and passion for acting. I’ve learnt so many new things in the acting world. Thank you so much, Bel!
Belinda has been tutoring my son in drama for nearly a year now. She is amazing and I cannot recommend her enough! Throughout the time she has tutored him I have seen his confidence and skill flourish! He really enjoys the sessions with her and always comes away inspired with new strategies and insights. She is fantastic! I wholeheartedly endorse her without reservation.
I really really enjoyed working with Belinda as my director! Found her easy, comfortable, fun and confident in what she does. I've done a few shows with a few different directors, but I really admire the out of box thinking and work Belinda encourages us to do with our character which draws you out of your usual habits on stage and when rehearsing. As well as some great activities for building character (and cast) relationships which result again in a stronger performance. She is a perfect blend of quirkiness and effort.
