About Yazid
Hello, I'm Yazid.
I am an actor, director, writer, and theater educator with over 20 years of professional experience in the performing arts.
Throughout my career, I have performed in more than 60 productions, worked with leading theater companies in Singapore, and taught students ranging from young beginners to university and postgraduate learners.
My training includes studies at the Intercultural Theatre Institute, École Philippe Gaulier in France, and a First Class Bachelor's degree in Theatre Arts from the University of Essex. I also hold a Master's degree in Arts Pedagogy and Practice from Goldsmiths, University of London.
I teach because I believe theater has the power to help people discover themselves, connect with others, and communicate more authentically.
Acting is not simply about pretending to be someone else—it is about developing awareness, imagination, confidence, and presence.
My lessons create a supportive space where students can explore, take creative risks, and develop their own artistic voice. Whether you are completely new to acting, preparing for auditions, creating original work, or looking to grow as a performer, I aim to help you build practical skills while enjoying the process of learning.
Rather than focusing only on memorizing techniques, I encourage students to engage their body, voice, emotions, and imagination as a whole. Drawing from physical theater, improvisation, devising, movement training, and professional stage practice, my goal is to help each student become a more confident, expressive, and creative performer.
Most importantly, I teach because I love seeing students surprise themselves—discovering abilities, insights, and confidence they did not know they possessed. Theater can be transformative, and it is a privilege to guide others on that journey.

Acting Through Presence, Play, and Physical Expression
Learn acting through a practical, embodied approach that develops the actor's body, imagination, voice, and creative instincts. Drawing from over 20 years of professional theatre-making experience and training in Jacques Lecoq, Philippe Gaulier, devising theatre, and martial arts, these lessons help students discover truthful, dynamic, and engaging performance.
Lessons may include:
Physical theatre and movement training
Improvisation and creative play
Character creation and transformation
Voice and presence work
Ensemble and collaboration skills
Script and text analysis
Devising and original performance creation
Audition and performance preparation
Suitable for beginners, aspiring actors, theatre students, educators, and performers seeking to deepen their craft.
Sessions are tailored to individual goals, whether building confidence, preparing for auditions, creating original work, or developing professional performance skills.
My teaching philosophy is that acting is not simply about portraying a character—it is about cultivating awareness, responsiveness, imagination, and presence.
Students are encouraged to take creative risks, develop their unique artistic voice, and discover the joy of performance through rigorous yet playful exploration.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
As someone who had no talent for acting, acting was a mystery to me, despite having aspirations to be an actor. Yazid broke down the art for me in a way I understood, and this has helped me in the various performances I participated in over the last 20 years, even though they were minor roles or even non-speaking roles. He has coached me in ways that were personally curated for me. I am now more confident in myself and have largely mitigated my stage fright as well.
He taught me dramaturgical skills for theatre.
What I appreciate most about him is his kindness and sincerity. He is honest and passionate about his work. He pushed me to always do better each day, and gave me encouragement when he saw that I needed it.
Once, we were assigned individual homework. Do research and present it through performance. He did one-on-one consultations before the presentation. His insightful feedback and guidance inspired me to explore exciting new ideas that previously I felt unsure of.
In essence, he gave me the courage to be brave, and the knowledge to back it up.My dramaturgy, voice and devising teacher. He encourages us to dig deeper, and not shy away from controversial and important dialogue like politics and social issues.
I used to be a student under Yazid, and his charisma, passion, and his keenness towards everyone’s values, opinions and work is unmatched! He’s very caring and focused, such a good guy!
Yazid is a highly detailed and dedicated lecturer who has guided me in dramaturgy, physical training, and both theoretical and practical aspects of performance. His teaching covers all areas necessary to enrich my learning. As performers, our primary tools are our body and voice, and Yazid consistently begins his classes with warm ups that sharpen our physical awareness before delving deeply into how dramaturgy can be applied to our work. He is a truly well rounded and inspiring teacher.
