About Sandra
I have been a professional acting, improvisation, voice and movement teacher for more than 3 decades. I have also been a professional director for more than 30 years as well. I am a professional playwright and screenwriter and love to teach writing and develop new works. I am passionate about the craft of acting. I hold a deep belief that every single human being on this planet has their own unique creative genius that they came here to share. I treat each and every student as a unique creative genius that I get the privelage of nurturing toward bringing to fruition. As a coach and consultant I use techniques developed in theatre to teach non-actors as well.

I have been adjunct faculty at many universities including Boise State and The University of Iowa, I have also done many residencies and guest teaching spots over the last 35 years. Over the years, in addition to teaching acting and improvisation, I have taught courses in playwrighting, movement, voice and speech, theatre history, theatre management, shakespeare, audition techniques, the business of acting.
