Mehmet Avcu is an Istanbul-and-Brussels based actor, instructor and voiceover artist whose work is built at the intersection of analytical discipline and creative curiosity.

His practice is rooted in Eric Morris and Meisner techniques, supported by on-camera work and vocal coaching.

He is bilingual in Turkish and English and works regularly as an actor and a voiceover artist.As an instructor Mehmet pairs military-grade structure with a warm, permission-giving rehearsal room: precise, organised, and encouraging of honest risk. His classes emphasise practical, repeatable tools for immediate use — whether you’re preparing an audition, rehearsing a run, or stepping in front of a camera or people — and place special importance on safety, ensemble listening and emotional reliability. Mehmet currently runs focused workshops on Eric Morris and Meisner techniques, private coaching and masterclasses in Brussels and Istanbul. His sessions are designed to help actors at any level move from “performing” into genuinely lived behaviour.As a performer she has worked with Alexandra Bachzetsis, Troubleyn Jan Fabre, Finnish National Theatre, Company Carl Knif, Hiatus Daniel Linehan, Dafna Maimon, Company Gabrielle Moleta, Tino Sehgal and Jeremy Shaw among others.

Tom Mallan has taught theatre and filmmaking to ages 3-103 (really!) in communities across Europe, Latin America and his native Washington DC.  He has relished a parallel career-by-night of directing opera and theatre — highly accessible, sometimes bilingual, always pop culture-infused takes on classical works.  Brussels audiences most recently enjoyed his swingin’-60’s Two Gentlemen of Verona with Brussels Shakespeare Society, for whom he also portrayed Cassius in Julius Caesar last January.  He is grateful to have found a new artistic home here with groups from the BSS to ECC, for whom he will next direct the European premiere of a modern screwball farce in verse, Homunculus, at the Warehouse Studio Theatre in April–with next stop: Edinburgh Fringe 2026!
