About the lesson
I believe that as an artist I have a responsibility to pass on knowledge to young artists. I love what I do and it is an absolute joy to share my passion with students.
More than any of the technical skills a student may learn, I believe the most valuable thing I can teach young artists is to enjoy the process, to play, to explore, to make mistakes and learn from them. Seeing students let go of that logic brain and really enjoy the work without worrying about how good it is a reward in itself.

About Simon
I am a classically trained actor who has trained with some of the best voice, text and acting teachers in both the US and United Kingdom. I have worked professionally on productions such as Little Women and HBO's The Deuce.
I love to share my broad experience with students just beginning their journey as artists. My philosophy as a teacher of the arts is that it is absolutely imperative to encourage young artists to trust their impulses. In many ways being creative is the opposite of what students learn in school. School is all about right or wrong. I teach young artists to get out of that right-wrong logic brain and into the space of play and exploration where great art happens.
I offer an array of services for actors including monologue work, scene study (groups of 2 or more), voice work, text analysis, exercises to free up the body and mind, and audition prep. I am a hands on teacher focused on experiential learning. I get actors on their feet.
Your child will leave lessons with a host of new technical skills, a new approach to the work and workshopped pieces ready for auditions!
I look forward to hearing form you and I am excited by the possibility of working with your child.
Best,
Simon
