Coach

“For me, coaching is an art in and of itself”
“Coaching for me is the ultimate gift, being able to elevate and inspire people to do their best work, with concrete tools I developed that were hard-earned and came out of my own experience as an actor an director… It is the greatest gift to be able to translate my knowledge and insight into ideas that transform someone’s ability to go deep into their artistic soul and achieve their greatest aspirations as an artist”
“Acting is one of the hardest professions in the world, it requires intelligence, intuition, and intense commitment to the work. The gift of coaching people to achieve their dreams, not just of getting work and the chance to create, but the ability to experience within themself a transformation of their talent into actual experience.

Go Deeper

"Avriel had me dive into my psyche and soul. Her work with me challenged and pushed me to become a more daring and fulfilled artist. But even more, her work changed me as a person. Her process helped me heal and find and love parts of myself I didn’t even know were there. I could trust her so deeply, we could go anywhere, even to dark places, and find ways to use all parts of me in ways that helped me grow into a more aware and wise being."

— G.W Taylor

Our Mission

Making you an actor of depth whose work touches the world
You act because of a calling

You must act because it comes from your soul.

You do not act because you want fame.

You act because you have an intense love for life and a passion to understand and reveal humanity in all its shades and hues, you act because you are fascinated by people and life.

You act because you hunger for beauty and truth.

A truth that can only be revealed through becoming a player in the story, revealing yourself through the drives and dynamic needs and stakes of another where you can safely bring your hidden self to play.

You act to free something deep within that cries for expression that we all connect to.

This work changes the world by your daring, as it heals you.

When you find your voice and authentic connection to the truth of cloaked in another character.

You act authentically and you will touch the world. And that is magic.

This practice will help you reclaim the alchemy of the craft for yourself; it will help you rediscover and reclaim the why

MASTER TEACHERS & TECHNIQUES
WHOSE WORK BREATHES THROUGH ME

Larry Moss

"That's what our work can do: we remind people that things can change, that wounds can heal, that people can be forgiven, and that wounds can heal, that people can be forgiven, and that closed hearts can open again. ".

Michal Howard

"The absolute essence of what we do as actors is to reveal ourselves. That particular part of ourselves that best illuminates the text"

Judith Weston

"Be a person, not a character. Listening is the most important element of performance. It is the most important thing a director should be looking for"

Patsy Rodenberg

"Unless you connect to the text, the audience won't be able to connect with you. You have to learn to work and search, not expect instantly to find."

Authentic Acting not about any one formulaic technique

It is about an active inquiry and intense commitment to reveal truth through the character’s journey.

This is an approach that integrates key principles of known Master techniques but then insist you find a pathway for making them your own, while developing your unique keen sense of self and ways to plug that self into the material.

Find your Voice

the Art of Authentic Acting

It is a process for making choices in your work that bring out the hero in your character, avoiding victimized choices that take the fight out of your performance.

It is a process for re-discovering how to get to the bottom line and underlying meaning of every moment and to reveal yourself more fully and fulfillingly in every moment.

Stop trying to do the scene the way you think it must be done

Create a genuine subconsciously imbued connection and let your truest truths express themselves while you bring your most vulnerable self to the surface

It is your curiosity and your craft.

Your Inquiry.

Your Truth.

Your Inquiry.

Get dangerously good.

Get Authentic.
