| Personal Statement |
| I use the Lessac Approach as the foundation in training both with actors and with clients in private studio. Guiding students toward self through the physcial, full body awareness and experience of sound production and articulation eventually leads to an actor on stage who is most effective in communication skill and prepared to trust in the moment. Ease of communication is stressed through optimal use of the entire instrument as the ultimate goal in all contexts. |
