Teaching
Theatre & Drama
When teaching theatre, I hope to provide students with theatrical skills that will serve them beyond the current experience: creating an appreciation for the craft and structure of the art form, an understanding of projection and blocking, and a pride in their own growth as actors.
My educational theatre workshops and teaching incorporate creative drama, youth empowerment and improvisational activities, personal narratives, image theatre, and expressing creative freedom.
Below I highlight some of the most recent teaching projects - primarily in and around Michigan. For more information on my teaching experience, please see my CV. Thank you!

Movement
When developing movement & dance experiences, programs, and workshops for ages 3-18, my approach is very active and structured while all the time trying to impart a passion for dance and movement with my students.
