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 love everything about my work.
I started teaching acting in 1986 at the National Shakespeare Conservatory. I was a graduate of NSC and when I returned from my time at The National Theatre Of Great Britain, they invited me to begin teaching - at NSC I taught Voice and Speech under Rober Perillo, I taught movement under Lisa Jacobsen, I also eventually got to teach improvisation and audition technique there as well before I left New York and began teaching at Universities - I taught acting, voice, and improvisation at In the ATP at University of Utah, I taught acting and movment Portland State University, I was the faculty chair at Portland Actor's Conservatory (where I taught acting, directing, improv, and voice), I was the interum department chair at Clackamas College, and I founded and ran the New Heritage Studio. 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. I continue teaching actors of all levels and abilities privately and in small groups.
