Stage Combat and Theatrical Intimacy Instruction
Since 2017, I have worked with students of all ages on safe and compelling stage combat technique and consent-forward best practices. With a background in private education based in educational psychology and over 15 years of teaching experience, I've brought my scaffolding skills to class rooms and rehearsal rooms alike, to meet students where they are and give meaningful, applicable instruction no matter the class level.
