I’ve been performing on stage since I was 6. I have had experience with other aspects of the theatre such as playwriting, directing, stage management, dramaturgy, costume design, and technical theatre.
Most of my on stage experience comes from community theatre productions as well as my school’s theatre department. I have also been fortunate enough to audition for shows in NYC, as well as other non-equity projects. I was exposed to the other off stage theatrical occupations in my IB Theatre course that we have at my high school. It is a 2 year course that solely focuses on theatre and the world. My sophomore and freshmen year of high school I was able to take a course called “theatre arts 1 and 2” which was a pre-requisite for IB Theatre.
My dance training has originated at different studios based upon where I live, as well as NYC “Steps on Broadway” and “Broadway Dance Center” (BDC). I train for more than 6 hours each week, and take classes in ballet, jazz, musical theatre dance, lyrical, contemporary, and tap.
My acting background comes from my fall drama productions at my high school, as well as an acting coach I was able to find through a musical college theatre audition website. My director for the straight plays at my high school also helped tremendously. So did the IB Theatre course.
I have been taking voice lessons for the past 10 years, studying with a couple of different teachers as my voice changed. I now study with a teacher in NYC, and she is wonderful.
I wish you the best of luck in your training, and college audition/acceptance journey!
