About
I believe that an actor who knows well his instrument is inclined to explore any kind of character. Many actors knows what they want to accomplish but fear the way to do it.
It takes desire, courage and commitment.
Acting is fun. Acting is playing. Playing is relate to your inner child .This little child is your instinct. By releasing your blocks you will allow this instinct to operate and play anything you want.
I love to compare an actor to a Chef in his kitchen. A Chef who knows his instruments is juggling with those tools to create meals. Never exactly the same but coming from his own ability to play with the tools he learned to master. The more he’s going to use them, the more he will get better at it. And sometimes tools will be too old, or not working anymore...and he will open up to new tools.
Knowing your instrument will not only give you the best tools to create characters but will also help you in any area of your life that feels stuck.
My passion is to help actors and non actors discovering the endless world of possibilities they have and if you have the determination, I will provide a juicy journey.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
One of my client worked on his emotional flexibility with me and non only releazed a huge block as an actor but also reconnected with his father through the whole process.
His instrument is open and flexible AND his personal life has changed completely.It touched me a lot.

"You don't know till you know"
I don't have the truth.My gift is my ability to guide finding your inner truth through specific exercises. It requires commitment, love and trust.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Ask for what you want. Not what you think you should or shouldn't want. Just think from your inner voice and tell the truth.
