Because of my three basic rules, the following are encouraged and promoted for all students regardless of experience level: 

-Students learn to focus their minds and increase concentration
-They practice and understand the importance of respect and teamwork. 
-They build confidence and gain tools to deal with nervousness or shyness through breathing and relaxation techniques, as well as through the success of performing with other students
-They develop tools to “think outside the box” and generate new ideas’ in the moment’
-They learn how to shape and direct stories and narratives through miniature plots to ultimate resolutions 

When a student comes up with a new and spontaneous idea in the moment, and it works, they feel the instant thrill of success. They get a laugh from their group peers and they develop a new and deeper connection with their scene partner(s). My goal for every student is to equip them with the tools to be able to achieve that moment and experience that success for themselves.

I have over 250 credits on the IMDB but I am most often recognized from tv shows and movies such as:

Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda "Harper"
The Bride of Chucky "David"
YTV - Live After School Zone host for many years (the first host!)
Supernatural - various different characters (I died 3 times on that show lol)
Kung Fu The Legend Continues

I am also currently a member of the Maestro! Improv ensemble in Vancouver BC, Canada, where I perform live,  every week, doing exactly what I teach in this class at the Tightrope Impro Theatre on Main st. If you are in the area come see us! 

I try to keep working to stay fresh so I can continue to bring actual life experience and examples to class and often I will rework a lesson to reflect something interesting that happened on stage that week.  

For more about me look me up on youtube, tiktok, the imdb or read my profile.

Thank you so much for your interest in my class!
