I have a Masters degree in Acting from the acclaimed Actors Studio Drama School in Manhattan, so I am well versed in most every acting technique; including Stanislavski, Strasberg, Meisner, Chekov, Hagen, Stella Adler, and beyond. I've taught acting to children, teens, and adults in the US and abroad since 2005 and my students are working actors! My main goal is to help you to develop your own set of tools for practicing the craft of acting, and to better understand your unique voice as an artist. Make sure to wear clothing you can move in during our sessions, and, most importantly, explore and just have fun!

The objective in this class is to awaken the imagination, emotion, and intellect of the student by introducing the transforming power and universality of theatre and the skills required to be vulnerable on stage. We will discuss Character development, the “who, what, why, where, when and how” of each scene, and ultimately learn how to develop the ability to use our body, mind, and experiences to create characters and tell a story

As an acting teacher/coach, I strive to guide each young actor through the ongoing, evolving, lifelong process of awareness, curiosity, exploration, and discovery that leads to producing honest work. Using the Meisner Technique, I instill young actors with confidence in their own ability to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances. Small group class sizes and private lessons provide actors with individualized mentorship, while also preparing them to work in a professional environment and promote longevity in their careers.

I share a lifetime of experience as a professional actress. I've also studied acting for decades, with many teachers and varied acting techniques and script analysis. We will explore and find which of these tools work for YOU. You'll create your own tool box for performing and auditioning with ease, freedom and confidence.
