Back in in-person classes for the first time since 2020! Here's how that's going.

Felt like a good week to take a moment to chill.

A day in the life of a roller coaster rider. And by roller coaster rider, I mean actor.

Maybe the connection between these two art forms is obvious but my own understanding and experience of it has developed slowly. Over time. It's a magical connection.

Auditioning. Often described as the worst thing ever. But it's one of the core elements of an actor's career, so how is describing it that way that helpful? My thoughts on reframing this.

Talking about regrets. And letting them go.

Unfettered: not controlled or restricted; free, unrestrained. Merriam-Webster

I don't want to wait until I'm 85 to feel free. I need to channel it now!
