The New School, B.A. Creative Writing and Drama Therapy Certificate

I believe every child with raw, natural talent should be given the opportunity to learn and practice skill and technique taught by established artists.

While touring with/performing in The Roots of Rap: Poetry I became keenly aware of the disparity in the quality of basic education in the various communities that we "edutained" and was inspired to be a part of the solution!

As a professional actor in New York, I run into a lot of performers who just want that one goal....that one break... to be a "star"! As a Dream Yard artist-in-residence, I have an opportunity to help students find their own creativity...their own "star". The rewards definitely outweigh the challenges at the end of each teaching year . That's what it means to be a true artist...to pass on...what has been so generously given to you!
