Teaching Statement:
“My goal is to provide students with exercises and techniques that release students from habitual self-use patterns and free them to realize authentic moments in performance and – ideally – life.
“My Acting 1 class is an Introduction to Character class which will give you the tools needed to explore and analyze characters in scripted material. Through various holistic approaches – multi-sensory work, games, improvisation, actionable objectives, movement, etc. you will learn engaging and transformational ways to read a script and bring to life vibrant, multi-dimensional characters in performance. Rehearsal time outside of class is required.”
