Movement Generation Coaching for Directors & Playwrights

You are a theater director or playwright that has big questions about dance and gesture - both for yourself and in finding the language to inspire actors to generate movement.
I spend most of my time thinking about movement, expression, creation and purpose.
I often work with directors and playwrights from inception to stage, I am also available for short workshops to give you a "way in" with your actors and your own ideas.
I'll offer quick-tricks and slower tools to give you confidence as you speak about movement and what you are looking for from your performers.
Click "Yes, I'm Interested" for schedule availability.

from the mouths of Directors and Playwrights:
"Melissa has a knack for putting actors who are new to movement physically at ease, working to their natural strengths. She is a truly lovely human being and a pleasure to work with!"
- Sheila Callaghan, Playwright
"Melissa is wonderful"
-Andrew Frank, Director
"In my creative process movement is part of the language of the play. I work with Melissa because she understands that words and movement are part of the same conversation on stage and her execution is beautiful and flawless."
- Cesi Davidson, Playwright
