TEACHING STATEMENT:
“Audibility is not a liability. It is an enhancement. Clarity is strength not weakness. Please work with a partner, if possible. But better to do a ‘solo’ than no work at all. If asked to ‘bring a scene back’ next week, please do so. You have the right to say ‘I’d rather not.’ I retain the right to make it mandatory. Avoid being late. Excused lateness is a privilege. Don’t make it a habit. Rise to a challenge. Don’t intentionally miscast yourself. Be courageous. Behavioral values are more potent than literary decisions. Criticism may be brutal but never cruel.”
