The best gift of 2018!

In this month's blog I talk about a great present you can give yourself and your loved ones!

Since relocating to Brooklyn, I have tweaked my one-on-one coaching model and am now offering it remotely. Working on the reliable Zoom platform, I can video chat with my clients, see and hear what they are doing with their bodies and voices, and offer the same practical, effective feedback. This type of session is also very useful for situations where time is of the essence, anything from last-minute tune-ups to full-blown speech emergencies. Of course I still love to see all my wonderful clients in person, but sometime the time/space continuum gets in the way! So if you need a tune-up or would like to do a series of sessions, but can't get to Brooklyn to see me, we can make it happen.  

Happy Holidays to all!
And best wishes for a peaceful and fulfilling 2019!

Tis the season!

Time to update on one of my evergreen posts. This month's blog discussed why being truly "just yourself" at work is not always the best.

Come hear selections from Act I of my new play It's My Party! at A Night of Suffrage Theatre. This event will take place at the actual home of the National Woman's Party (featured pominenely in the play!), the Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument.

What happens when two different factions ignite political change using wildly different tactics? It's My Party! reveals the competing strategies, daring stunts, shaky alliances, and bitter rivalries that propelled the suffragists' march toward the 19th Amendment.

Acting the part

My clients always give me something interesting to chew over. This month's blog reflects a recent discussion dealing with actors and authenticity.

Back in the Big Apple!

My blog this month catches you up a bit on what I have been doing since I moved to Brooklyn in August--aside from unpacking (which I am assured will come to an end eventually!): lots of walking and listening and learning!

In July my short play In the Ladies' had its world premiere at Arena Stage as part of the Capital Fringe Festival in Washington, D.C. It was one of one-acts in How's That Workin' Out For Ya?, an evening of subversive comedy presented by Pipeline Playwrights. We sold out each show and had a great time!

We're planning more readings and productions of new plays in the coming year. If you're not on Pipeline Playwright's e-mailing list, and would like to be, send me an e-mail. I'll be sure we add you!
