Solo Music
"Alex Etchart is a community musician, folk singer, poet, activist, clown, drama teacher, workshop facilitator and all-round decent human being.
Alex has been involved with and inspired by Occupy London, Friern Barnet library and Balcombe anti-fracking Community Camp.
Taking a page from folk singers from Woody Guthrie to David Rovics, Alex' poetry is urgent and unapolagetically critical of the world as we know it,
and unflinching in its call to unfuck-it-up, with a solid dose of heart and humour."
Steph Dogfoot Chan - Singaporean National Slam Poetry Champion
Workshops
"The workshop introduced the basic principles in a really clear, fun and engaging way, allowing the students to develop their own ideas but also providing a clear framework for them and making sure that everyone was able to participate. The students seemed to really engage with the idea and were able to see how they could apply it practically in the future."

One-on-One Mentoring
"not only a master of performance himself, he is a wizard at synthesizing a wide range of techniques... He integrates them into a approach that's playful and intuitive. From our first session, he was re-wiring my neural map without me even knowing. I would incorporate his techniques in day-to-day life or public speaking without realizing it. He was moving me to mastery without my sub-conscious or ego blocking the process. His unconventional style, spontaneous brilliance, never ending bag of tricks and approachable manner has made public speaking and performance a joy to learn rather than something to fear and avoid. He is unparalleled as a teacher and a practitioner."
