TEACHING

ASCTC 5.jpg

My teaching philosophy is driven by hands-on, experiential, play-based learning.

​

The acting classroom can be a space of great vulnerability. In order to allow my students to grow as actors, I foster a classroom culture where they can feel safe making big choices and joyfully risking failure as a pathway to making new discoveries.

​

I honor the individuality and lived experiences of each student, and I aim to meet them where they are, and help them become active participants in their own education.
