My teaching style blends common-sense with advanced acting methodology,
stripping away overthinking while deepening craft.
The work is grounded in action, specificity, and truthful human behavior -
not tricks, imitation, or falsity.
Actors are taught to THINK FOR THEMSELVES,
to analyze material efficiently and make bold, playable choices;
to trust their instincts inside a strong technical framework.
​
When my actors get on set, they are not the ones waiting around to be told what to do. They go in with STRONG CHOICES,
ready to PLAY and INSPIRE the writers to write more for them,
the directors to want to create with them,
and possess the fire and collaborative drive to take redirects to the next level.
The goal is not to “perform,” but to BE PRESENT:
to listen, respond, and live truthfully within the given circumstances
with confidence and artistic independence.
