Acting Lessons in Fairmount Park. Amazing Teachers.

For me as an actor, the benefit of a great coach or director has always been that they've helped me reach places in my work I couldn't have achieved on my own. As a coach myself, I'm most thrilled by those small (or monumental!) breakthroughs that my students and I discover together during the coaching process. The cool thing is that I've found the progress my students make in their craft will often inspire me to new heights in my own. (A bonus to already enriching work)!

If you want to develop new material for upcoming auditions, hone and refresh (or completely change) your monologues, or simply work on the craft of acting, I can help. I work to gear your coaching sessions to the goals you need to achieve, offering an experience created around what you need to work on and want to learn.

Acting with me in my class is FUN. Because acting with me is about living and being. The camera witnesses and reveals how well the actor (artist/craftsperson) has captured “the moment.” This Mini Term Course, “On the High-Wire Without a Net: Acting for the Camera,” will explore what it means to be fearless in front of the camera as if no one was watching. From watching, talking about, and dissecting great performances to observing everyday behavior in the world, participants will have a glimpse into what building a confident screen presence is all about. The class will include a great deal of writing about the inner lives of people, developing a real presence through individual work and acting exercises, as well as watching master actors at their craft.
