I am heartened by this question. The thought of someone caring about their craft enough to want to work with numerous teachers already lets me know that the actor is not only disciplined, but aware of the motto “knowledge is power”. To have true power as an actor necessitates that you know your craft.

The rest of the world is beginning to catch on to what we, as actors, have always known…it’s not about the “resolutions”, it’s about the “intention”.  If we can set an intention to be, rather then the resolution to do – we tend to manifest what we want (and have a better time in theContinue reading “NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS”

That’s why it always saddens me that actors feel that they can bring up a multi-leveled performance withoutContinue reading “Why Research?”

If we can acknowledge the sacred in our work, then we bring that same sense of sacredness to our audiences. If we are aware of the miraculous in our lives, then we bring that awareness of the miracles to our audiences
