Topics to be covered in our coaching sessions:

Acting on stage, monologue selection, acting through body, voice, mind

Memorization techniques, script analysis, character development

Audition prep, audition suggestions, opportunity research (finding opportunities for you to audition for!)

Class Structure:
A coaching session would begin with a check in and review of our goals and outline for the lesson. Once our goal is set, we will begin with the proper warmups for our bodies and voices, followed by the introduction of a new technique and exercise to practice outside of our time together. The end of our session will explore a piece to use in performance, giving the student time to try the new content taught and receive some feedback and follow up discussion. We will conclude by setting goals for the week until we meet again! As necessary I prepare for our lessons by pulling material for students to practice or make recommendations of material they can find any prepare for lessons, performances, and auditions. 

Teaching Style:
As a theatre artist and teacher I have extensive training (B.A. Theatre Arts, Masters of Education) and seven years field experience, serving children of all ages both online and in the in person classroom setting. I meet the learner where they are, creating creative and interactive lessons to engage the learner and challenge them to grow in a developmentally appropriate way. Lessons are teacher guided and student led, based on their interest and goals. I use engaging material for the students that I both pull from existing plays and shows and original pieces I write myself.
