In December 2017, I assisted Kari Margolis in a two-day workshop at Rhode Island College. This was a great experience in facilitating along with my colleague, Jackie McCoy. We had the opportunity to give individual feedback and demonstrate improvisations for the students.

0 Comments

 
I am so appreciative for the energetic attendance at ATHE 2017: Las Vegas theatre conference presentation. I presented a 90-minute workshop/lecture, "Empowering actors with practicable tools from the Margolis Method for acting, voice and dance" with my lovely colleagues: Maggie Anderson (Temple University), and Stefanie Sertich (LaGuardia Community College). 

This summer, I'll am working to complete a 15-week training program towards my Professor Certification in Margolis Method and eventual, Level 1 Professional Certification. I head back to Barryville, NY for 9 more weeks. Building my actor warrior strength every day in the studio. I am especially grateful to my/our mentor Kari Margolis for her brilliance and continued support in training me and her faith in this presentation!
