Looking back on my early days as an aspiring actor at the Australian Academy of Dramatic Art, I realise how profoundly Mark Constable shaped my journey.
More than a teacher, Mark was a mentor, something rare in the jungle of this industry. His lessons have stayed with me throughout my acting and producing career, and they remain with me today. If you’re lucky enough to cross paths with Mark, keep him close.
When I think about my experiences back at Drama School, Mark is always at the forefront of my memory. He not only trained me as an actor that led me to further studies in New York, but, later would go on to shape me as a director. Of course, he never knew this, but, the excitement, passion and individualism, that he brought to his role as an educator is something that I draw on within my own work everyday.
When Mark engages with young people, his enthusiasm is electric. It’s obvious that that’s where he belongs, and it’s not long before students gravitate towards him.
Mark, I just want to thank you for everything - literally everything you did for us at AADA.
My life was profoundly impacted by your passion and creativity; the way you made everything come to life so vividly; your truthfulness and earnestness in story telling; your profound ability to teach and inspire us; and your unwavering belief in our skills and talents. Mark, honestly, your belief in me often brought me to tears and I don’t think you could ever know how much it meant to me back then - or indeed how much it still means to me now, all these years later. You were the single most inspirational person to me in my acting journey and I will forever be grateful for that.
Mark taught me how to act, yes, but mostly, he taught me about who I wanted to be in the world: generous, compassionate, collaborative, and curious. Mark meets people where they are, and nurtures a creative spirit in all he does. This I know to be true after witnessing his work on stage and in the room as a director and teacher for many years. If you have opportunity to hire this genius of a man, you should do it before he leaves the room.
Since first meeting Mark I have been enamoured with his kindness and willingness to mentor and support young artists and creatives. Mark is undeniably regarded as the most trusted and loved teacher from my time at the National Theatre Drama School. My entire cohort admired not only his guidance and expertise but the care, attention and time that he would spend developing our skills and craft of the class.
Mark is not only a caring and brilliant teacher and mentor he is an exceptional performer and ripping fella.
In an industry full of dills he is a shining light of positivity and compassion.
As Head of Drama at various secondary schools, I would often call on Mark to run workshops and help direct our Shakespeare productions. Many years later, these students still recall their experience of him with great respect and affection.
Mark leaves an indelible imprint on all those lucky to have been in his orbit by his energy, passion, humour and the lessons he imparts. He often says that amongst all his many acting credits and awards, it is those moments in which he has helped shape a student’s self-belief that resonates most. He’s a man of deep integrity and humility and he never makes it about him but always the student and the work.
