MINDSET
”I believe every actor already possesses the creative tools they need—it’s simply a matter of dedicated, focused practice. The right coach doesn’t impose something new, but helps reveal what’s already within, guiding that discovery through behaviour-based work. I’ve had the privilege of being both a working actor and a teacher. My own training and mentorship with master teachers—each with decades of experience—have given me a sharp, compassionate outside eye and a deep respect for the craft. The exercises I offer are just that: practice tools, meant to build trust in your instincts and connection to the moment. Whether you’re brand new to acting or a seasoned professional, every actor deserves a space where freedom and focus can co-exist. I’m grateful to help provide that space.”

STEPHANIE'S STUDIO JOURNEY
Neighborhood Playhouse Group B - 2016
My Story
I'm an actor, playwright, and educator driven by a deep curiosity about what makes performance truthful and alive. That curiosity led me to explore a wide range of acting techniques and was recognized early on with an Ontario Arts Council Chalmers Award (2011), which supported my apprenticeship in the Meisner Technique at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York—the home of Sanford Meisner’s work. There, I had the privilege of training under Ron Stetson and Richard Pinter, an experience that continues to shape my approach to acting and teaching. I taught the first-year "Group B" for five years (2014–2019).
With over 25 years of experience in theatre and film, I’ve been fortunate to work as both an artist and a mentor. I founded The Essential Collective Theatre to bring new Canadian stories to life and was deeply committed to building a canon of contemporary Canadian plays in the Niagara Region. My passion for fostering bold, honest performance has led me to teach at the Neighborhood Playhouse, Niagara College, and the Canadian Film Centre—and to lead workshops across the country, including in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Montreal.
As an actor, I recently won Best Supporting Actress at the New York International Film Awards for my role as Donna in the feature film EFC.
As a writer, my play Bridge Street—a feminist social justice piece exploring the lives of survival sex-trade workers—was published as part of my Master’s thesis and premiered at the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre in 2022.
Currently, I am pursuing my PhD in acting performance at the University of Guelph. Whether I’m working on set, in the classroom, or on stage, I’m dedicated to helping actors unlock their imagination, connect deeply with their work, and respond with honesty in the moment.
