About
I have been acting for 19 years in live stage theatre , film, and musical theatre. I lived in NYC and trained at several conservatories in Method Acting and Meisner Technique at The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, The Acting Studio, Maggie Flanigan Studio and New York Film Academy. I have studied Acting Shepherd and Checkhov and stage combat and been in master classes with Megan Hilty, Jose Llana, Justin Paul, Adam Pascal , Erin Dilly, Laura Osnes and the team of How To Make it On Broadway with Jodie Langle. I was in the Greatest Showman and The Only Living Boy In New York.
I work with The Afrikan Women's Repertory Theatre and The Complete Theatre Company ( Improv Theatre).
I love the Method and Meisner tech because it gives vulnerability and truth to your acting and being able to be real and truthful and reacting of behavior. "The ability to live or do truthfully in imaginary circumstances " Sanford Meisner

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I go over the basic training principles and begin with Method relaxation exercises and sense memory exercises then can get into scene work and monologues. In Meisner I begin with several exercises for a long time till it becomes well done until I start on any scenes because they have to learn effectively how to react off behavior, take in the response gave a point of view ( feeling) then have the emotional response back and these are achieved by repetition exercises and independent activity with an object then will do 3 moment exercise all of which will go toward scenework
