Get help from the best.

When coaching one-on-one, I draw on expertise from over 20 years of working with the best directors and performers in the industry, including Cirque du Soleil, Les 7 Doigts de la Main, Cirque Eloize, and many others.

I focus on telling your story, showing your spark, and creating a true sense of wonder with your unique skill set.

Make your act stand out.

I will help you start from an emotional space to develop a show concept. I lean toward humanly-charged concepts clear enough to be expressed by you, and be read by the audience.

I will call on your natural movement vocabulary, quirks, and skills to tell the story, shape acts, stage numbers, and create transitions.

Let’s create something unique, memorable, and impactful.
