Actor, Pole Dancer, Performer

"I have had the pleasure of working with Steph as a private Movement Coach for my work as a Dancer/Actor in Olivier Nominated Theodora Royal Opera House, Movement Director and Professional Pole Dance Competitions across the UK. Steph brought incredible quality to the work and made me feel very confident in performing on stage under some quite demanding high-profile performances. I continue to use a lot of Steph's practices she has taught me when acting and dancing. I have observed Steph direct performers across various disciplines (Theatre, Dance, Modelling, Circus, Burlesque) and see how with clear delivery and well-developed practices she takes work to new heights."

Brittany Gallasch

Movement Intern

"During my time interning at Fourth Monkey, Steph was an incredible host and mentor to me. She welcomed me to the school with open arms and was willing to share many invaluable lessons she has learnt over her career as a movement teacher, practitioner and director. I was immediately impressed with her eye detail and how she can draw the best out of the people she works with. Steph has really inspired me to follow my interests, deepen my physical skills and take my career into my own hands."

Tiia-Mari Mäkinen

Practitioner, Theatre Maker, director

"Stephanie is one of the most trusted collaborators I’ve ever worked with. Her creative professionalism is exceptional. she is dedicated, thoughtful, and incredibly hardworking. She has a sharp eye for detail, a deep sense of responsibility to the group, and a resilience that carries every project forward. I’ve also had the opportunity to work alongside her in teaching, and you couldn’t ask for a better educator. She genuinely cares for each student and is committed to helping them thrive and succeed."
