About
I teach acting all over the world. I teach classroom teachers and professional actors. I have studied with the most famous acting teacher, Viola Spolin, and her son, the famous Paul Sills. I am author of the cd "Viola Spolin's Theater Games for the classroom." I am also a certified classroom teacher. I teach kids of all ages, teachers of Language Arts and Drama, and actors. My specialty is improvisational cating techniques. My classes are the most fun, and you learn alot. I am also a toy inventor. I run "World Spolin Network" on Facebook.
This is the most fun I ever had. My students never want to stop playing. THey know they are learning, and never feel that they are not getting to be better actors. They get the bigger picture.
