Teaching

What I like about teaching comes when I show actors how to understand and embrace the many possibilities in their personal history, of Who and What they are, and How to connect and breath into what is essential for the character at any given moment. 

Having studied for years in many places, with many different teachers, like Uta Hagen, Herbert Berghoff, Míriam Colón, José Quintero, and still searching while working in Plays, Television, and Feature Films throughout the World.

In Hollywood, I began studying with the acclaimed actress and teacher Kim Stanley.  She guided me to understanding the method work she used, and the sensory work used at the Lee Strasberg Institute.  But the most important aspect of her work, and now to my teaching in general, was the use of the "Needs".  Fifteen different human conditions that motivate all of our impulses and behaviors.  The greatest tool for the actor, the "need" instinctively connects you with your heart essence or soul.
