Body Analysis through breath work and movement analysis.

Using a range of disciplines from martial arts, to acting techniques, to voice and breath work, we will work together to relieve unnecessary tensions in the body, move effectively, and discover deeper understanding of our vessel. My hope is that you will feel more capable and confidant in your body, no matter what type of body you have. This is not about strength training. It is abut understanding and appreciating the body you have.

About Me

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, I have been an actor since I was seven years old, and a martial artist since I was nine. I have always had a passion for the arts especially in how they intersect with movement. It was for this reason that I moved to Belgium to study gestural theatre. Beyond this I have studied mythology and literature on the side. I love fantasy, video games, and cooking. I also speak French.

Education

High School Diploma. I studied for one year at Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University in Chicago with a focus on Acting. Currently studying at Ecole LASSAAD

Experience / Qualifications

Been an actor with professional and semi-professional experience familiar with the techniques of Lecoq, Checkhov, Bogart, Overlie, Laban, Linklater, and more.

I started out in Musical Theatre, playing roles such as JD in Heathers and The King in Once Upon a Mattress, in my late teens I got into other styles, playing roles such as Beethoven in Dog Sees God, Dogberry in Much Ado About Nothing, and Orlando in As You Like It.


I have done commercial work and work as a sword fighter to perform in front of the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra


Worked as a teachers assistant at a program in Cincinnati which focuses on training high school aged students in the world of theatre.

I’ve studied Martial Arts since I was nine, including but not limited to Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, Aiki-Jutsu, Iaido, Wrestling, and Systema.

Specialized in mythology in my high school.
Whether you are new to the industry and want help with monologues and picking up skills, or you seek to gain the confidence to perform and go to auditions, we can work together to become mor vibrant and powerful on stage. Using the techniques of Lecoq, Laban, Bogart, Overlie, Chekhov, Rodenburg, and Linklater, as well as just some fundamentals, we will develop the basic vocal, physical, emotional, and psychological skills that every actor needs.

Physical preparation, rehabilitation, improving performance and health
I'm Raunaq, a football fitness coach with experience working as a health/fitness coach and nutrigeneticist. I have experience working with chronic pain, lifestyle habits, and mental health, focusing on improving breathing. In my Master's degree in Sports Science, I wrote my thesis on sleep optimization in elite adolescent soccer players, and I'm looking into options in clinics focused on this. The relationship between overall health, both physical and mental, and our circadian rhythms and sleep, along with the lighting environment in modern life and disconnection from nature, is mind-boggling. Equally important is breathing and the nervous system, which directly influence the quality and quantity of sleep. Last month, I gave a talk at a chess club about health and performance - I want to work as a coach for both athletes and the general population.

Sports science for students, coaches, athletes and general interested parties
I'm currently in my final semester of the Master's program in Performance, Training, and Coaching in Elite-Level Sports at the German Sport University. If you're a student yourself and need help, or are simply a coach or athlete who wants to gain a scientific understanding of their craft, please feel free to contact me with your topic!

Mathematics and physics chemistry courses - Middle school, high school and higher education
I've been teaching maths and physics for nearly 15 years, from secondary school through to high school. The most important thing for me is to (re)instill confidence in students, and provide them with a working method adapted to their personality. The lessons can consist of several things: - homework help (homework, practice, etc.) - helping the student to understand a lesson he or she has difficulty in understanding - preparing for tests and exams (bac, brevet, concours...) - help students improve their work methods and techniques, and consequently their grades. My philosophy is to make students want to learn a subject again, by working on self-confidence, concentration and practical, everyday applications. Lessons can be given remotely (videoconferencing avoids the need to travel) or face-to-face. Maths or Physics lessons can be given in English or French.

German (elementary school), English (also exam preparation),, sports theory (also exam preparation)
I study sports science and English as a teacher at the Humboldt University in Berlin and am currently writing my bachelor thesis. I offer English lessons, as well as sports theory or practice, from elementary school to high school. I give German lessons to primary school students or people who want to learn the language again. In all subjects, I would be very happy to offer my help with exam preparation or homework. In English I would like to work with my student on tasks that improve vocabulary and grammatical understanding. I would also show how important it is to be able to speak English today, but also to bring up the history of the English language and its worldwide distribution to today's world language. Furthermore, I find it important to read texts together, analyze them and discuss the given topics in English, provided that the level of the students is sufficient. I mainly teach German to primary school students. Similar to English, I would support my students with their homework, prepare exams, try to enrich the vocabulary or also an understanding of the grammar. I am available as a teacher for sports theory but also for sports practice. I am writing my bachelor thesis in sports science. This offer may be more attractive for the upper level and the preparation for the Abitur exam in sports as well as for students at a sports school. For example, I would also meet the students on the sports field and practice the disciplines of athletics or gymnastics (in both sports I had a 1.7 in my practical exams at the HU).

GCSE PE, Sport Science, Btec Sport Level 3- Help with exam and coursework preparation.
As the head of a PE department, I have taught in a variety of different schools since qualifying in 2014. My degree is in both Sport Science and Sport Coaching, which means my knowledge of Physical Education analysis is both extensive and wide ranging. I am very passionate about sports and teaching; I have taught many students during my career. I have taught students for whom English was not their first language, students who were D/E borderline - managing to get C grades, along with those students who were wishing to achieve the A/A* grades. In the summer, I work as an examiner/moderator for OCR and understand what is required in order to achieve a positive grade in the subject.
