Children's Acting Classes Online
I'm offering acting classes online!
|
I started taking acting classes as a child. At that time I had no idea I wanted to be an actor. What I loved about those classes was having a space to play, create and imagine. I was an extremely shy kid - so shy I wouldn't talk to people, but in acting class, I was able to break out of my shell. It was a place where I would not only talk, but create characters, new worlds and explore my emotions. Now more than ever, kids need a safe space to play, create and express what they are feeling. I would love to offer that space.

My Background
I hold a B.A. in Theater and Education Studies from The New School in New York City.
I have been teaching for over 10 years. I have worked at C.A.S.T (Children's Acting Space Tribeca), P.S. 3, and Berkley Carroll in New York City. After moving to Los Angeles I led classes at Kidville and Au Fudge.
As an actor I have been in indie films, commercials, TV shows on Syfy, TLC and Investigation Discovery, and I have performed in off-off Broadway plays in New York City. I have also written, produced and starred in short films that went on to film festivals, including the Short Film Corner at Cannes. I am a member of SAG-AFTRA.
