TEAL - Theatre Education Arts Life

Jackie was introduced to our startup cohorts by Durham University. She gave us an amazing experience. We were comfortably pushed out of our comfort zone just to discover how amazing our public speaking skills are. I think up until the point i met Jackie, I was never confident with my skills and the way i deliver it. It was nicely polished and upgraded just within few hours. She took a very gradual pace for us to refine our skills. If you are in for a great public speaking coach, definitely recommend Jackie.

I have known Jackie for most of my life and have participated in her plays and theater workshops. When applying to boarding school last year, Jackie helped me prepare for my interview through simulating what we expected would be my interviews set up. Having never been in an interview situation before and after practicing with Jackie in presenting myself, I went into my interview feeling confident and fully prepared. Jackie’s preparation made a big impact on me being accepted into boarding school. I have been apart of the LYTS community for many years and Jackie’s camps have been very formative experiences in my life. I used to be very shy but LYTS programs allowed me to come out of my shell and feel free to express myself through acting. I made some of my closest friends and met many of my inspiring role models through my experiences with Jackie. Experiences with LYTS enabled me to make connections with a diverse and charismatic community that I will forever appreciate being apart of.

Jackie Dack organized a group of students who were interviewed at Barbary Beach about their impressions of the importance of healthy oceans. This was in preparation for a large Art installation project that sadly never materialized called Big Art Meets the Ocean. The videographer was Paul Mockler. The day went well and would not have been possible without the assistance given by Jackie Dack.
