My approach to teaching is process oriented. I want to give students the ability to be self-sufficient artists who can learn and grow in any circumstances throughout their lives. Our theater program provides an experience of the full range of human consciousness. Our approach is completely evolutionary, training the actor to transform into any character while maintaining integrity in the Self. The School of the Arts offers a holistic approach to theater that includes the best of current acting traditions.
Students gain the means to develop their own creative genius and to inspire their audience.
At other schools, you push a broom for two years before getting a decent role. Here I had leading roles my first year. By my final year, I was writing and directing my own plays. My approach to teaching is to allow students to find out where their own art comes from and why they create it-to explore dance and movement in terms of themselves. Here students make great, unexpected jumps in learning.
