What others say:

"Thanks for teaching us! I learned so much about my performance style and how to trust others to create great scenes."

Katie Butler is a complete beam of light and a dream to work with! She cultivated a safe and brave space and allowed us to flop and learn from doing instead of talking at us."

"Katie was GREAT! Always showed up with a ton of energy and enthusiasm, made us feel respected and also taught very effectively, reviewing what we had learned after each class and building on previous lessons"
