Oakland, Ca

Including Website Design, Media Selection, Promotional Materials, Publicity, Dramaturgy. Additionally through all of these roles, answering the questions of who do we inspire; who is our audience and how do we tell our stories? One of my most important tasks in the role of producer has been to liase with theatres, outside contractors, and the varied artists attached to a production. Including but not limited to building organized structures, smoothing ruffled feathers, easing communication, while remaining focused on our central goal: to create impactful and effective experiences for our audiences. Key to my work is understanding how the connection between company well being and success; achieving an optimum creative environment for performers facilitates the experience of the end-user (the theatre-goer)!

Though group classes are not currently my focus, I do still teach acting clients. Empowerment, Ease and Agency: I facilitate my students of uncover their unique voice and clearest speech. The work I do begins with the body, which includes voice, and from here into the world of intellect and expression of emotion as appropriate to the actor. The basis of techniques used result in expanding students' understanding of themselves as holistic beings/performers. This is psychophysical work: in which observations and learning stem from a focus on the body as starting place.
