I’ve spent most of my life acting and watching actors, and more than twenty years helping gifted, creative people see what gets in their way.
I have a rare ability to see what’s underneath the talent, the instinct, vulnerability, intelligence, danger, humor, sexuality, power and humanity that are uniquely yours.
I’m not interested in putting something into you.
I’m interested in helping you get out of the way of what’s already there.
“The other day I heard the Michelangelo quote, ‘I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.’ It reminded me of what you do in class, Rob, in seeing our talent, our beauty, our vulnerability, and carving off anything that’s in our way…”
Rivers Cassedy
That’s as close to describing what I do as anything I’ve heard.
I don’t want to make you into an actor.
You already are one.
Courage. Curiosity. A willingness to be surprised. To not know. To stop trying to get it right and allow yourself to be fully alive.
Rare is the bird that wants to fly without the safety of a cage to go back to.
