SOMATIC Acting Training
So many actors are frustrated. They can feel their potential but don't know how to break habits and get out of their own way.
Others crave tangible tools to deepen their work, take ownership of their process, and find joy within this challenging industry.
And some have found “success” but still want more, real artistry.
My entire approach to acting training emerged out of my work as a director and addresses these needs.
My method removes the false separation between the actor’s mind and body and unifies the study of acting, voice, and movement into one cohesive process that drops actors into their bodies and unlocks their full self.
Past students are on Broadway, in tv shows and movies, and in the nation’s top BFA and MFA programs.
