ACTING METHOD

I bring a dynamic and engaging approach to Acting instruction, blending rigorous technique with creative exploration. With experience performing from Shakespeare to film, I have taught in BFA acting programs and developed curricula that prepare actors for both stage and screen.
My expertise includes Uta Hagen, Meisner, Animal Work, Laban, Lugering, and Comedy. I have taught Movement, Voice and Diction, Commedia dell’Arte, Stage and Film Combat, Improvisation, The Alexander Technique, Advanced Scene Study, and Audition Technique.
Whether coaching one-on-one, leading workshops, or teaching classrooms in the collegiate level, I cultivate a professional yet exciting learning environment that equips actors with the tools to excel in their craft.
