Creativity and Imagination are not only skills, but also act like muscles. Without proper exercise they too will grow weak. It's more than "either you have it or you don't". Remember to ask questions, questions lead to answers. You never know where the answers may lead you.
Happy Tuesday

If you want to better at something, you must learn the proper technique. Whether you are auditioning for School, Theater, TV or FILM. I can help you achieve your goals. My methods are a mix between old and new. I am currently directing RENT at Blackfriars Theatre. Where I am completely rein-visioning it as a new concept piece. Classes are offered at this time 1-on-1. This offers the ability to tailor make the lessons to the specific student needs. Not everyone learns the same, but we all CAN learn. Let me guide you.
