What is my teaching philosophy?

“That was great. Can you show us your personality?”


   My philosophy is simple. It is based on these principles —

  • What kind of collaborator do you want to be?

  • What if I told you there were no rules?

  • Yes, you can bring your authentic self to the material!

How do I teach?

I love working with artists of all ages who are trying to bring the truth into what they do “in the room”. We spend a great deal of time as performers trying to “be someone else” entirely — And I think that allows us to forget the special things that set us apart from everyone else.

I help students tap into their own unique skills, and to learn How and When to bring them into play in “the room” and in rehearsal… Which, for some, can be the scariest place for collaboration to happen.
