My teaching approach explores the depths of the techniques I work with, but most importantly helps students to apply them. I believe acting tutors must reveal the ins and outs of techniques and not lead with mystery. The class room must always feels safe to work and play.

Biography

Skye Hallam is an Anglo-Indian actress from Kingston Upon-Thames. Skye trained at RADA, graduating in 2016 and making her stage debut with TARA Theatre in Paradise of the Assassins. Her acting credits include The Crown (Netflix) The Alienist (TNT/Netflix) and Daniel Alfredson’s film trilogy Intrigo. Skye’s debut one woman show Heads or Tails was Offie Nominated at the Brighton Fringe Online in 2021. In 2024, Skye played Olive Lashbrooke in John Van Druten’s The Voice of the Turtle at Jermyn Street Theatre for which she was Offie finalist 2025 in the performance category. In 2025, Skye played ‘Tweedle Dee’ in Alice in Wonderland Live UK at the Marylebone Theatre.

At the start of 2022, LAMDA Lead Acting Practitioner Philippe Bosher invited Skye to join the LAMDA staff to teach Meisner technique and has now taught across 3 different courses, including the world renowned 3 year BA Acting program. Skye also sits on the audition panel for the BA and MFA recall auditions. Skye is an associate acting teacher at RADA, Arts Ed, Oxford School of Drama and FONACT in Paris. Skye’s teaching specialises in Meisner and Laban technique and her ‘Meisner with Skye’ drop in classes run monthly at the Old Diorama. Skye is also a freelance director; her credits include The Tempest and Hamlet at LAMDA & Kali theatre’s Phantasmagoria at the Southwark Playhouse. Skye was trained in the Meisner technique by John Bechizza, the former head of Acting at RADA of over 20 years. John is one of the most experienced and accomplished practitioners of Meisner’s work in the industry. Despite having over 10 years experience in the technique herself, Skye regularly returns to his classes herself at the JBAT studio. This goes to show that Meisner is the ‘gym’ for actors and that you are never ‘finished’.
