UNLOCK THE POWER OF YOUR ENSEMBLE

Embrace your creative voice and discover a newfound confidence.

With seven years of experience teaching diverse BFA Acting cohorts for both stage and screen, my approach to training is to foster strong ensembles by providing a common vocabulary, a rigorous standard of excellence, and a playful, supportive environment. I’ve found that my classes allow each student's unique perspective to flourish and their confidence to expand as they embark on building a career as an actor, creator, or comedian.

“Corey is hands down one of the best professors I have had at Chapman so far. His feedback is thoughtful and thorough. He brings the most brilliant balance of play and work into the classroom. I am genuinely so excited to come to class.”

As a workshop facilitator, teaching artist, and professor, I've had the privilege of mentoring students of all ages across the nation. Notable collaborations include institutions like the New York Film Academy, Chapman University, University of Southern California, Central Connecticut State University, Queens Theatre In The Park, School of Creative and Performing Arts, and Engage! - a nonprofit dedicated to serving senior citizen populations.

My workshops are tailored to meet the unique needs of your students but can focus on Improvisation, Ensemble building, Voice and Movement, Devising original work, or On-Camera acting.

At the heart of my teaching lies a commitment to creating a safe, inclusive environment where students are encouraged to explore, take risks, and embrace their unique voices. My teaching philosophy extends beyond the classroom, aiming to instill values of empathy, resilience, and collaboration.

“The nature of the class helped a lot with group bonding, and the hands-on activities were very useful.”
