Acting shakespeare:

workshops that free actors to explore outside the binary. all of them.


I teach periodic group workshops and do one-on-one coaching for auditions, character development, increasing language facility, or tailored to your needs.

All workshops and coaching sessions are sliding scale and are consent-based, anticapitalist, anti-ableist, anti-fatphobic, and practice antiracism.
