Ian Gareth Hadfield

Ian Gareth Hadfield has been involved in the Entertainment Industry for close to 30 years. At school, he was the Presto Theatre Club Actor of the Year; and the spark was born. His tertiary education included Drama, Dance and Literary Theory. But Ian knew instinctively that there was more to performance than learning about the Greeks and this lead to a lifetime quest to find methods and techniques that are authentic, modern and pragmatic. As a performer, Ian has appeared in musical theatre in ‘My Fair Lady’ and ‘Oliver!’. He has written and performed one-man-plays, as well as two and three-handers such as ‘Betta Resplendes’ and ‘Fraud’. He has directed theatre productions such as ‘for colored girls/ who have considered suicide’, ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ and ‘Macbeth’. On television he has appeared in the television series ‘Black Sails’ and also in a series of music videos for Warner Music Germany. But, most importantly, Ian has trained and coached hundreds of aspirant actors of all ages which is his passion – seeing young performers grow and become the best versions of themselves. Ian is also a certified Life Coach, NLP Practitioner, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Mindfulness Coach.
