FIGHT DESIGN
Let's make you a BADASS!
WHAT TO EXPECT WORKING WITH ME
I am a passionate storyteller and that doesn’t let up when it comes to the art of violence and fight choreography. Violence is a tool we can use to elevate story and reveal character, enriching the experience for both the performers and the audience.
I am a clear communicator with a background in multiple movement disciplines so I can speak in an endless variety of ways to make sure that the performers are working to their strengths, feel involved, respected and safe. As an actor, I love working with actors and will encourage and develop their views and choices to best serve the story.
As someone who thrives in collaboration, I will work with you and your team to bring forth your vision, whether it be a simple altercation, a comedic brawl, sword epic or the next Atomic Blonde.
Press & Reviews
“Intense, Refreshing, Great acting, Clever… See it if you like gore treated in an equally shocking and thoughtful way”
- Show Score. The Changeling, Rudegrooms Production
"Their contrasting experiences and presentation clash deliberately in a precision-timed tussle for the audience’s attentions. ...she proves to be a top brawler and her riotous bitch fight with Collinson is but one fun example of this show’s gonzo energy."
- Swan Song, Edinburgh Fringe Festival
"-infused with elements of Dungeons and Dragons, Game of Thrones, and Lord of the Rings, Henry IV is a one-of-a-kind, can't miss mix between classic and contemporary!"
- Crowns of Power: Henry IV, Dallas Shakespeare Junior Players
Performance Combat is
%100 cooperative
energy to show conflict.
As a Fight Director & Instructor with New York Combat for Stage & Screen, NYC's top weekly training for actor combatants, I am immersed in a community of action.
At NYCSS we focus on grounding the art of crafted violence in martial reality, bringing a production’s vision to life by enhancing the story and revealing character in a way that words cannot.
Words can lie, Actions don’t.

I am consistently teaching weekly classes, workshops and seminars and am also available for private lessons.
