My classroom is a world of laughter. I’ve helped traumatized actors laugh and in doing so, let go of their anxiety. The result is work that is free, instinctual, and vulnerable. I have taught actors in all stages of career; high school, undergrad, graduate and working professional. I hope to see you in one of my classrooms soon!
