Creating Intimacy of Stage Workshop

April 24 at 7 pm – 9pm

Featuring Guest Speaker Rachel Finley

Rachel Finley is compassionate, patient and deeply dedicated to her student’s success.  Rachel uses her deep study of the Stanislavski based acting systems, including Meisner Technique, Uta Hagen's Steps, Strasberg's Method and Michael Chekov Technique to offer highly personalized actor training.  A certified Fitzmaurice Voicework ™ teacher with extensive training in Knight Thompson Speechwork, Ms. Finley also teaches voice and dialect work both privately and at the collegiate level to actors, public speakers and anyone interested in developing healthy and skillful speech and vocal use.  Incorporating her work with Alexander Technique, Laban and Viewpoints, Rachel pushes her acting students to connect physically, vocally, psychologically and intellectually with their scripts to create unique and compelling characters.  

Intimacy Choreographers are responsible for the consensual crafting and staging of stories of sex, race, disability, religion, or age with appropriate cultural context and competency. They consult on scenes with loaded, heightened, or charged content that draws on the actor’s identity. 

Rachel will be part of the upcoming production of Three's A Party by Justin Santory. MCC's Co-production with Teatro Bravo.
