“Play is the highest form of research.”
—Albert Einstein
Play is how an actor works it all out. And class is where play happens best. I guide actors in my New York City classes, and bring bespoke workshops to artists across the country.
Check out the full list of offerings, and let’s play!

Using the work of Carl Jung and Michael Chekhov as a jumping off point, actors will explore their access to archetypal energy via work on monologues, tv/film sides, and one paired scene from contemporary American theatre. For experienced actors. No prior knowledge of Jung is necessary, but a level of comfort in psychophysical acting is helpful.
Mondays, Jan 13-March 10 (skips Jan 20).
8 weeks, 10 actors.
$425, paid in full or two installments. -
Co-taught with the phenomenal Edgar Miguel Abreu, we will examine the song as a living, breathing scene, mining the artist’s individual connection to the material as it pertains to the character’s journey in the lyric and libretto. For singers of all levels. Dates TBD.
-
Sessions are tailor made to you. Audition and role preparation, self-taping, dialect acquisition. Work through creative blocks or do a complete audit and overhaul of your actor marketing materials. Book a single session, or save with a package and gift yourself a deeper commitment to your craft.
-
In these one-on-one sessions, we will take an embodied deep dive into archetypal energy, anima/animus, dreams symbolism and shadow work, along with other practices from my toolbox. Perfect for actors and writers who want to utilize the depth psychology approach to enhancing their artistic process, as well as creatives who are seeking to connect with their deep inner wisdom to move through blocks and navigate change. Due to the nature of this work, Jungian Coaching is available only in 5-session packages.
