Beverly Rector- Private And Group Lessons For The Theatre, Visual Arts, Home Decorating

In my family I was always the “Creative One” and constantly engaged in multiple  creative outlets: crafts, art, writing, theatre, room design and decor, etc. I have a degree in Theatre/Speech/Education and have teaching experience for grades K-12.  I have also  owned a “painting” business for 4 years and taught numerous paintings to classes of 2 to 40. In addition we conducted art camps over the summer and offered private lessons as well.  I am a certified Home Stager/Decorator and can do consulting or lessons for this as well.

My first priority is to make a connection with my client.  We need to get to know each other and develop a rapport that will give us a fondation of trust for us to achieve the best learning environment for our time together. Another part of making a connection is gaining a clear understanding of goals so that each lesson can be customized.  We will do this through interactive games, creative exercises, vocal and physical warm-ups, and just playing , having fun, and talking.

Once we feel comfortable together and have written some goals I will propose a plan for devloping the skills needed to reach your creative goals. 

I offer lessons for the world of Theatre that can incorporate any of the following areas:

- Acting

- Improvisation

- Basics of Costuming, Set Design, Stage Management

- Auditioning

In the Visual Arts Category I offer lessons that may incorporate any of the following areas:

- Principles of Design

- Art History

- Painting (Acrylics, oils, and water colors)

- Collage

- Mixed Media

For Home Staging and Decorating I offer consulting and/or lessons on  room design, shopping, decorating, staging.  I specialize in working on small budget design and repurposing things to give your home/room a fresh new look.

If you decide to work with me in any creative endeavor my goal is to help you discover YOUR talents and put them to work. 

I love all aspects of the creative process and enjoy meeting people.  When I have the opportunity to "marry the two" I am definitely in my happy place.  Teaching is the the best of all things - you get to do something you love and are passionate about and pass it on to someone else.
