Using the art of movement as medium and metaphor, BodySpeak™ is an interactive and highly intensive program of training designed to integrate mind, body, and spirit. It is the culmination of my forty years’ experience as a theatrical performer, author, and teacher. Body Speak is, in its essence, a journey from thought to action. Along the way we learn to focus the mind, discipline the body, and activate powerful creative energies. We discover new and subtle ways to communicate with one another. We also have a lot of fun.

The International Summer Mime Workshop is the climactic event of the year, a week long intensive, which develops all ten essential components of BodySpeak™.  Learn to retrain the mind and body to integrate within your spirit. Learn to communicate in new and subtle ways.  “Narrow the gap” between thinking and doing. Become more authentic in total body expression.

Weekend Workshops are for those individuals who have attended The International Summer Mime Workshop and are considered advanced training for those who want to continue learning and studying BodySpeak™.

Private Consultations and Dare To Imagine – The Apprenticeship/Mentor Program Private consultations and the apprenticeship program allow students to study BodySpeak™ more in depth and on an individualized level.  90% of communication is not through words, but through body language and movement, yet few people are fully aware of the nonverbal messages they are sending.  This program is beneficial not only for actors, but also business-people, speakers, athletes, and any person who wants to communicate powerfully both with themselves and others.  It is creatively oriented to identify the inconsistencies between your thoughts and actions, to restore your natural balance of being, and to align your natural expression, speech and movements.
