Mission Statement

I have seen actors sabotage themselves over and over again. I have seen smart, experienced, talented actors back off from daring and confident work, giving up what they know. I have seen actors doubt themselves time and time again, and then beat themselves up for it. I have seen actors get in their own way and hold on tenaciously to the need to do so. They become expert saboteurs.

The process of trying to get a job, over and over again, is totally unnatural and grueling. It’s walking on hot coals. But once we acknowledge the insanity of it, and decide to walk through the fire without resistance, we let go of our struggle, embrace the insanity, and take the walk with both abandonment and commitment. For we get to do the work. And that’s the reward in and of itself. There’s no reward in sabotage. There is great success in giving oneself to the process of the work, even in the artifice of the audition. Because in the end, it’s a skill to be mastered. And an opportunity to do what you know so inherently well.

I am committed to helping actors find your voice, your courage, your conviction. And to reconnect with the inspiration that led you to do what you do. What I consider to be the bravest work there is… being this kind of artist. You put yourself into another character’s life and bring yourself to that character’s soul. I applaud you. I celebrate you. I bow to you. And still, you need to be free and focused, confident and empowered do that for yourself. Time and time again.

In our time together I hope to be able to lead you to that place of self-assured, daring, glorious work…  either for the first time or to clear the path back to doing it again.

I hope that you will take this journey with me. It’s challenging and it’s provocative. And it can free you so that you can do your best work, bring your authentic self to the work, and walk into any room or onto any stage and be undeniable.
