Philosophy
From the introductory course for beginners to master classes for advance students, I offer comprehensive training, which aims to develop each actor’s ability to perform while developing the means to express one’s self specifically and visually. Through meticulous instruction in a range of disciplines, each actor is encouraged to move the art form of acting forward — to transform it, deepen it, clarify it, and create new ways of working. This is done through individual class offerings starting with but not limited to; Sensorial Work, Relaxation Techniques, Monologues, Scenes, Scene Interpretation, Character Analysis, and Audition Preparation.
