A Senior Lecturer in Acting at the University of Northampton, Theatre Director and Creative Practitioner based in North London, Owain is a graduate of the MA Actor Training and Coaching programme at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and is a former professional actor. He received his initial actor training from the Manchester Metropolitan School of Theatre.
