What Folks Say About Working With Me:

“Working with Caitlin always has been and always will be a profound joy. It feels like a homecoming, a warm cup of tea. Whereas many other facilitators or teachers preach being a safe space for those who learn from them, Caitlin leads by example, showing her students that it is not only safe but important to set boundaries, and to move at your own pace, in the way that feels most comfortable to you…Caitlin has helped me to become not only a stronger and more confident actor, but a stronger and more confident me.”
– Amelia Hillery, actor

“Caitlin’s direction is truly brilliant. It was incredibly informative to be coached by her, but also to witness her coaching others and learn from that experience as well. I appreciated the pace and sequence of the class, in which skills built on one another in a helpful way. I am eager to continue acting after having taken her class.”
-Laurel Swerdlow, actor

“Thank you so much for such a wonderful class! I just wanted to share that you exceeded all my expectations as an instructor. I always felt like I was in good hands, and every time I thought I knew something you came back with so much more depth of knowledge and experience. I especially appreciate your intentionality around creating a supportive space adapted to our individual goals. While all of the exercises you taught built naturally on each other, “please/no” and moving towards and away felt particularly powerful — I can never watch tv/film in the same way again!”
-Nick Nielsen, actor

“Caitlin does absolutely incredible at taking whatever level you are and matching it. She takes the time to create a personal bond with each person, and makes sure that exercises work for you. They helped me understand more about how I think and work with others and rekindled a new love for the theater process in me.”
– Kit Cowan, student actor

“I have worked with Caitlin for three different shows and everytime she amazes me with her skill and spectacular way with words. They have an amazing ability to make everyone comfortable in a space and stay open minded. Caitlin lifted the weight of intimate moments so many times for me and made the shows I was in an even better experience than it would’ve been without her.”
– Elle Coffman-Luckcuck
