Our best work as artists come from liberated space, both internal and external. Where vulnerability is welcomed, risks are celebrated, and trusting your instinct is encouraged.

Whether directing, coaching actors on set, facilitating a course or devising new work- creating a trusting environment with open communication, where we enter the work of exploring characters, stories, and the world together with openness and authenticity is integral to my process.

“Noëlle creates a connection between actors and their director. Her process opens the troupe to the foundational elements of great ensemble performance; trust, relationship, and security. Through playfulness, movement and listening she brings to cast what is essential but often overlooked in film preparation. Not only that- it’s fun, even when the material might be heavy.”
