JESSIE ON TEACHING

“I love working with actors. Helping them share themselves through the work is one of the greatest gifts of teaching. I tailor my process to serve each actor because each actor is unique. What are their needs? Their propensities and habits? Their strengths and fears when it comes to the work? My goal as a teacher is to facilitate a safe space where we can explore these questions together. Whether working on script analysis, moment-to-moment, relaxation, listening, or all of the above my goal is to empower actors to share themselves freely and fearlessly.”
