RESTORATIVE ACTING
Designed to strengthen the actor in you.
Are you a seasoned actor looking to re-enter the business after time away?
Are you looking to reconnect with your craft away from the pressures of getting it right?
If you want to put your best foot forward in every medium, I can help you recognize your unique artistry no matter where you are right now. I offer one-on-one acting coaching and small-group classes. Acceptance based on interview.
I’m an actor. That came first. I’m also a writer, teacher and coach. I practice what I preach. I’m proud to have been trained as a teacher, director and actor by some wonderful people, including the late great Actors’ Studio veteran, Janine Manatis.
I’ve taught at various post-secondary institutions, and published books and articles along the way. My methodology draws on a range of acting techniques rooted in the foundational principles of Stanislavsky and his adherents refined into exercises that are practical, effective, and meaningful. The fundamental components of my teaching practice are preparation, audition techniques, active text analysis, and sensory exploration.
I bring years of professional training and expertise to one-on-one mentoring and group classes for emerging and especially seasoned actors.
I hold a BFA from the University of Windsor’s School of Dramatic Art and an MA and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. My publications include Renaissance and Baroque Directors, Directing and Authorship in Western Drama, Stanislavsky and Directing, About Directing, and the recent Canadian Plays of Italian Heritage.
