Teaching Practice

My teaching experience stretches through a wide array of classroom environments including unique children’s theatre workshops, movement for screen acting, and period movement including historical dance. Working as an actor, dancer, choreographer, and puppeteer has greatly influenced my practice and given me a great sensibility and empathy to each individual I teach.

The focus of my practice is to develop the inner life of character and to open the possibilities of the performer body through physical explorations of weight, space, and time.  In every environment I encourage students to take an active approach and responsibility in their learning process.  Empowering students through such means provides a positive environment, promoting a deep approach to growth and development.  

While my current practice is fueled by the work of Rudolf Laban and Michael Chekhov, I have been influenced by years of acting and dance training.  Classical Ballet, Contemporary Dance and Choreography have compiled a huge part of my development as a mover. In addition, with actor training in Stanislavski, Adler, and Meisner techniques I combine a unique blend of classic and innovative intricacy within my knowledge of the body and the performer.

I am always interested in creating unique and individual learning trajectories, please contact me for more information or to discuss a specific teaching opportunity or workshop idea.
