JOSEPHINE LARSEN - actor, director, teacher, founder of ART14
"I started learning the art of acting when I was 11 yrs old.
It literally saved my life. Over the years I have developed a fascination for the human creative spirit and the vital importance of learning to ACT as a path towards greater confidence, authenticity, creativity, SELF-EXPRESSION and SELF-EMPOWERMENT. My teachings have evolved out of many personal experiences in the professional theatre world, and in life, both good and bad. The methods I use are drawn from a rich background in many different acting styles and techniques, which I have developed, through existential necessity, into a unique teaching system - ART14."
JOSEPHINE has a formal education (Bristol Old Vic Theatre School 1971-4) + a qualification in teaching Performing Arts (Cert ED FE 2003), as well as over 50yrs practical experience in performing and teaching Acting and Impro skills, in three different languages (English, German and Danish). She is also an NLP Master Practitioner (INLPTA - 3 yrs) and has a Certificate in Humanistic Counselling and Clinical Hypnosis. Parallel to this, she has been blessed with a pioneering career in Theatre, Dance, Stage and Film in England and in Europe; working with some of the greatest artistic talents and minds.

JADE SHERIDAN - artistic director, actor, teacher, stage manager
"From a young age I found a sacred beauty in the expression and creativity that acting can provide, and I believe that acting can change the trajectory of a person's life. Not just in performance, but in the views we hold for ourself and others, and how we express ourselves in 'real' life. It's about connection - to our inner gut, to each other, to language, history, joy, to our body and voice. I believe that education, in every regard, most especially in the intimacy of acting, should be a place of safety as well as a place of sanctuary."
JADE graduated from Arts University Bournemouth in 2022, where she studied Acting - resulting in a BA(hons) First-class degree. At university she focused on the study of the voice, movement, singing and various acting techniques and practices. Such as Konstantin Stanislavski, Sanford Meisner, Rudolph Laban, and William Shakespeare. Before university, Jade studied Dance, Musical Theatre, Stage Management and Drama & Theatre studies at Sussex Downs College, Eastbourne.
Since graduating, Jade has studied at, and performed with the National Youth Theatre; stewarded at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, acted in various plays and worked primarily on her own creative pursuits, such as playwriting and developing her own creative practice. She has recently moved to Totnes, and is beginning her career in teaching. JADE will be teaching ART14 MIXED LEVEL CLASSES in Totnes as of AUTUMN 2026
JACK LANGLOIS - actor, singer, writer, composer
JACK owes his discovery of theatre to his love of dance and movement.
'Without first experiencing the joy of rhythm and sound I may not have dared step onto stage at all!
An audition for a play named ‘Walking, Falling, Getting up… again’ was my first experience of acting and I loved every moment of devising, rehearsing and eventually performing the play based on Terry Real’s ‘I don't want to talk about it’. Since then Jack has regularly attended classes with Josephine Larsen as well as numerous other classes and workshops.
"Performances with Art14 have been a huge success and have brought to light, other skills I have discovered, not just in performing, but also writing, songwriting and music production."
Outside of theatre Jack works as a carpenter. He is an avid Badminton player, loves good food and sometimes attempts to cook it, and occasionally dj’s at parties/club nights under various alias’s such as Djack, Lank Jagois and Dj Daddylonglegs.
