Hello!

I have a BA from East 15 Acting School in London, and have worked and trained with some of the world's foremost Shakespeare companies and practitioners including Shakespeare & Company, Prague Shakespeare Company, The Colorado Shakespeare Festival, Tina Packer, & Lisa Wolpe. I have experience coaching students on college and drama school auditions, and would love to help you feel confident with Shakespeare.

I teach acting and Shakespeare through a practical, embodied approach. Through a close reading of the text, intensive text analysis, movement, voice, and acting work, I will give you concrete tools to:

- Embody Shakespeare's language
- Speak with ease, confidence, and clarity
- Understand the structure of Shakespeare's text and how it can free and support your acting
- Find a deep personal connection to your own voice through Shakespeare's language

Students of mine have said "I have been having lessons with Liesl for about a month and I can honestly say that my knowledge on understanding and analyzing Shakespeare has improved and become so much more enjoyable. Liesl is a hardworking, professional and friendly coach who only wants to see you succeed. I would really recommend Liesl to anyone who wants to work on Shakespeare and who wants to have fun while doing it!"

I would love to work with you, and help you fall in love with Shakespeare!

Very skilled and insightful tutor/collaborator.

Liesl has an obvious passion and knowledge of Shakespeare. She was able to communicate her ideas and insight in ways I could translate into performance. Our session was generative and illuminated the text beyond what was expected. I left our session excited and full of new ideas to explore. As a result, my conversation and exploration with the director of the show I was auditioning for, was rich. With Liesl, you are in great hands! --

Really good tutor

Liesl was really patient and taught him how to emote and memorize dialogs. My son really enjoyed the lesson and was very happy with it. He is excited to audition and hopes to get the part.

A Cool Gal

I thought Liesl was a cool person to talk to and someone I would definitely have a cup of hot cocoa with! You can absolutely tell she has passion and love for what she teaches and she wants to help you in any and every she can to help you reach your objectives.

Stellar Shakespeare Breakdown for Drama Audition

I had a drama school audition and needed to prepare two Shakespeare pieces. I was looking for someone knowledgeable in Shakespeare, with the ability to dive deep and unpack the deeper meaning of the text. Liesl did an amazing job going through the scenes with me! She helped me understand the meaning of obscure words, unpack complicated wordplay, and really dissect the images that are GOLD when preparing a drama school monologue. I am so glad I had Liesl's help on my pieces and cannot recommend her highly enough! Not only is she knowledgeable, but she is kind and enjoyable to work with as well.
