About this Event
Are you relaxed, quick and funny in your day-to-day but freeze up when you’re onstage? Does being onstage feel scarier than meeting your partner’s parents?
Come to Discovering the Audience, a workshop where we work on staying present, finding our joy in performance and presentations, and telling the truth onstage.
It’s perfect for performers seeking more creative freedom, professionals looking to level up their public speaking and client interactions, and anyone comedy-curious who wants to explore being themselves in front of a supportive audience.
Be brave, be bold and find your joy.
I use tools from standup, improv, theatrical clowning and business best practices to guide us to a connected and free onstage presence. You’ll find the courage to stay present, explore and find what works for YOU and your audience.
