My very first acting experience was around the age of five. I was an inch worm, I got to sing as well as act, and I was hooked. (Pun semi-intended.) Ever since, theatre has lived at the core of my being. I performed regularly in high school and college productions, playing a wide range of characters from Lydia Bennet in Pride & Prejudice - where I met my husband! - to Snoopy in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Since co-founding Ghostlight Productions in 2009, and working with the Scranton Shakespeare Festival in 2016, I've had the chance to expand my acting experience through a variety of characters and a heavy dose of the classics. |
Stage Combatant
|
I'm always looking to grow my skills as a theatre artist, so I joined Art of Combat in 2012 (now New York Combat for Stage & Screen). Since then, I've had the opportunity to take multiple classes and intensives in stage combat, including knife, unarmed, found objects, longsword, small sword, sword and shield, quarterstaff, and whip. I even took a class in knife throwing! I've taken workshops and been choreographed by Jared Kirby, John "Doc" Lennox, and Kyle Rowling (who did fight choreography and doubling for Star Wars: Episodes II & III). I had the privilege of performing in New York City fight showcases for three years, and I continue to work with NYCSS directors and choreographers when performing in or directing a show that features stage violence. |

For Weapons of Whedon, I fought in two scenes: Serenity Mash-up and Cabin in the Woods. As this was my third year doing the intensive, I also served as an assistant fight director for Agents of Shield. |

How Does It Feel?Art of Combat New York City Intensive, 2013
In my second year of the intensive, I was challenged to learn small sword in addition to growing my skills in knife, unarmed, and found objects. I fought in several scenes including Julius Caesar. |
Physical DiscussionsArt of Combat New York City Intensive, 2012
Before my first year at the Art of Combat Intensive, I had only taken one weekend of fight workshops, where I had learned some basics in unarmed stage combat and a bit of broadsword. To be trusted with significant roles in two fight scenes was both frightening and thrilling. I expanded my skills in unarmed and learned to fight with found objects. I also discovered my love of knife (still my favorite stage combat weapon). The scenes I performed in for my very first showcase were Henry VI, Part I and Kill Bill. |
