Approach
With a background in Shakespeare and physical comedy, I create highly energetic and supportive environments bridging Red Nose Clown Training and text analysis work. Through a heightened sense of humor and awareness, my clients get to confidently exist in a sustained state of play. All one-on-one coaching sessions are individualized to suit your needs. In addition to working on required monologues, I am also available to help in each step of the process, including the choice of school that's right for you, the application, and the essay. I also offer Mock Auditions where I replicate the experience you will have at the schools you are auditioning for.
