Child Acting with Kirstie R.

Greetings! I have hands on experience teaching and directing acting and dance of various ages. During my time at Denison University I gained experience with acting techniques as well as directing actors for the stage and screen, which I have continued to use for recent independent projects. I began dancing at the age of two and a half and cheerleading at the age of eight. I have experience with jazz, lyrical, hip-hop, contemporary, and theatrical dance. Most recently I worked at the New York Film Academy’s summer camp where I utilized my knowledge of film and theatre to assist the students with their projects. While there I got to teach a screenwriting course and help with their monologue class. Furthermore, I have taken classes from multiple instructors from different studios, including James Franco’s Acting School, in Los Angeles. I’m well-informed with scene study, monologue techniques, acting for film, reading technique, improvisation, memorization, Meisner practices, Stanislavski technique, and character development. Acting is a passion of mine and I would love to help you break out of their shell and develop a passion for the art form in the same way that my teachers and mentors did for me. I look forward to meeting you! -Kirstie
