My approach to acting is a blend of classical techniques where the actor creates an honest and believable character that evokes a natural response from the audience.  Actors will learn to relax and value the power in stillness as they connect with and convey the message of the piece.  The actor's intention is to create an immediate audience reaction, whether it be anger, disgust, laughter, empathy, etc.  I believe in pushing an actor beyond his or her comfort zone in order to grow as a well-rounded performer.
