The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel. – Piet Mondrian, Artist
As way of introduction to what I do and how I will assist you on your journey toward a career as an actor, my edict as both a teacher and a coach is as follows:
My aim is to help the actor achieve the greatest possibility for the existence of nuance, through the profound understanding of character development and its inevitable progression.
PPA (Primary Principles of Acting) engages the student in both private coaching and class work. I also use improvisation as a main tool. It is my goal that the students become conscious of and familiar with those elements he will depend upon throughout his acting career, some of which are:
- Making conscious choices
- The use of the senses
- Memory +
- Imagination and the subconscious
The ultimate objective is to have the actor create and embrace the character’s “sense of truth.”
