MARTINA AVOGADRI
Martina Avogadri is a London based actress and producer. Of Italian origin, Martina graduated at prestigious drama school Paolo Grassi in Milan and later perfected her training at the Actors Door Studio in London, specialising in in-depth character work. Alongside her acting training, Martina undertook Philosophy studies at the University of Milan and completed her degree in Aesthetics, the philosophy of art.
As an actress Martina has worked both in Italy and in the UK for several independent productions, as well as big companies such as Netflix. Only this year, she has starred in feature film ‘Lift’, alongside Jean Reno and Kevin Hart and was recently on set filming for TV series ‘The Diplomat’, season 2.
Being on film sets of such a scale, next to so many A-listers, has provided Martina with great insight and equipped her to better coach students on presence and confidence. Her background studies in Philosophy contribute further precious analytical skills and awareness and discernment of fundamental problems concerning art and human essence. She merges this insight with her instinct and knowledge of the acting craft.
This dual approach grounds her work as a filmmaker and as a coach.
Martina has coached hundreds of students, in both acting and mindset, helping them develop a strong and resilient approach to their work.
