I also offer more specialized classes, workshops and advice to students with experience. My specialties are in contemporary plays, new play development, play readings, working with the playwrights and other collaborators, devising, physical theater, movement direction and dramaturgy. Together we can work to understand and enrich your artistic process and aesthetic. This can either be for a show you are studying, proposing or actively working on. I can also act in an advisory role, watching a rehearsal and giving feedback. As someone who has reviewed theater numerous times for major publications I am happy to give constructive criticism!
