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.
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.

Alexandre
Singing and performance classes, music and theater
Graduated in composition and Orchestration and in the art of theater and directing, having a Master in Musical Theater at the Sorbonne University Paris and a doctorate of advanced research in the art of singing and musical interpretation , I propose singing and interpretation lessons, based on the understanding and implementation of the Belt technique (breathing, voice placement, flexibility of diaphragmal pressure, diction) and a practical application of the theatrical method from Stanislavski for a thorough understanding and discovery of the theatrical interpretation of songs. The course consists of two or three parts: 1. A warm-up with various exercises, with the aim of widening the range, developing the breathing and understanding the mechanism of the phonator device. 2. Practical work on a song with eclectic choice. 3. A part of learning music theory and reading of score, if necessary. I work with you, putting a lot of emphasis on discovering or developing your voice at your own pace. I can also propose: 2. Music interpretation course (we work on the game and the construction of a character, the emotion of the song, the nuances) 3. Theater course (Actor's Studio method) - (we work on the body expression, the scenic presence, the connection between thought and action on stage), 4. Course of musical theory and solfege (the bases of the musical theory to be able to read and follow a partition), 5. Preparation course for castings and auditions (work on psychological preparation, stress management, choice of pieces and cutting, etc.). The price quoted is per course

Julia
Singing and interpretation lessons with body awarness.
Hello :) My method of teaching always relies first on connecting to the emotions and sensations in the body of the moment - here and now! I tackle all aspects of vocal technique, from the very production of sound to questions of interpretation, including breathing, jaw, tongue, posture, resonance, etc. Then come the vocalizations, phrasing, interpretation, and connection with the sound and belly ... and the real emotions, we will be working only on a repertoire that gives you genuine and authentic pleasure :) Finding genuine joy and inspiration in singing is one of the most important qualities that will allow your body to follow naturally in a liberated way! I’m very open-minded and can easily adapt to your requests.

Dear students: My name is Denise and I'm a professional singer with a singing master's degree from Catalonia's Music College (ESMUC) specialized in Historical Singing, Musicology and Music Education. My experience runs mostly in early and classical music with an active performing life, nevertheless I also have the experience and knowledge of popular musical styles such as Latin-American folk, jazz and musicals. As a docent or vocal coach I've collaborate with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs. I have years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults in both Latin-America and Europe, therefore understanding different appreciation levels and needs. My main goal is to help the student discover her or his voice while enjoying making music. **Class suggestions and indications** No experience is needed just bring your enthusiasm and favorite music. Classes can be given either in English, Spanish, French or Deutsch. There are no limit for styles, bring your favorite music and I will provide a safe environment for your personal and musical growth.

I hope to read from you soon and to make music together. All my best, Denise P.S. My schedule is mostly a suggestion since I'm constantly editing and adapting to a work schedule, please feel free to send me a message regarding your schedule needs and suggestions in order to give you the best service.

Singing lessons: Vocal technique oriented to diferrent styles. (Opera, Jazz, Pop, Rock) Breath managment, body consciousness, placement.
I ́m a profesional Opera Singer, who is also giving lessons in vocal technique since 7 years. This class is for begginers and intermedium level singers who want to improve the manage of their voices. The class starts with different vocalizations and breathing exercises to warm the body and start to understand how the voice works. Then we start to sing in order to apply the new concepts to different songs. The class its adaptable to every pupil, because everyone has their one vocal history, which means, they have different problem, which need differents aproaches.

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional education
From my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons, cultural studies. During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant. My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis). So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.

Hi, I'm Federica, I am Italian, and I am a Jazz Piano player and singer. I studied at the Royal Conservatory of the Hague. I'm doing my Master's at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

I love to work with children, I like to teach them good values like patience, self-confidence, trust, communication, and collaboration, all through music. That's what I learn every day by studying music and that's what I would like to transfer to my students. I've been told that If you have music in your life, you can't be a bad person. I believe in it. I offer live and online lessons: Piano Vocals Ear Training Technique Improvisation Repertoire Music Theory
