Simon Lennon

Simon Lennon gives us insights and techniques into finding your confidence. He uses life lessons and lessons taught to educate all walks of life; notably in his own company Itch and Scratch, a writing theatre company affiliated with the National youth Theatre. Simon's own generosity to others naturally motivates, however, hearing him talk about how he's constantly grafting, constantly looking to improve, brings real inspiration to the fold.

This session reveals all about the working life of an actor. Our actors will elaborate on what it's like working with a cast and crew, sometimes seven days a week, for 3-6 months, to not seeing them again. Attendees will hear about the downtime between jobs and the unknown when the next one will be. The actor life means continued auditions with little feedback if you don't land the role. Attendees will learn how to insulate themselves from setbacks, no matter the industry, and how to ensure they don't negatively affect their mental health.
