Are you ready to build a rich and dynamic character - someone who can make the audience cry one moment and laugh the next? Weather your going for slapstick comedy or someone raw and emotional, this is the foundational training you need. I am happy to work on classic or contemporary characters in any genre. This class can either be structured for  people who want to learn more about character work in general or for a specific character. Either way, you’ll walk away with with some new tools! 

 

I combine my experience with years of training in Stanislavski, Meisner, Alexander, Suzuki, Viewpoints, Grotowski, Drozin, Mask work, Puppeteering, Movement work and Dramaturgy. I’ve taught classes with K-12, college and professionals and I’m happy to teach at any level.
