Summary
I’m currently teaching the Meisner Technique in the sophomore Acting Studio at The Brind School of Theater at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia. In addition to my experience with Meisner I also have a strong knowledge of Uta Hagen’s work. I also have used aspects of Practical Aesthetics, Stanislavski and Seth Barrish’s work at The Barrow Group in my private coaching in New York City. While completing my MFA at Rutgers I taught Beginning and Intermediate Acting in the BA Theater Program for two years. I have a wide range of knowledge and use it successfully in my teaching.
I have spent the last fourteen years working as a professional actor in New York City. I have worked in all mediums: Stage, Film, TV, Commercial, and Voice-Over. I’ve had the great fortune of working with some great artists in those specific areas. In 2014, two productions I performed in were highly acclaimed-Machinal, garnered four Tony Nominations and Scarcity, was part of the Obie Award winning Hill Town Plays. My experience as a working actor is a strength for teaching students about what the life of an actor is like and the dedication that is needed to succeed at it.
