Word on the street is…
“This is by far the BEST rehearsal room I’ve ever been in.”
“Her attention to detail and mastery of storytelling is unmatched.”
“Constance knows how to create a safe space in the rehearsal room without ever sacrificing quality.”
“I will follow her into any project, I trust her with my life.”
“Her work is a rollercoaster ride, start to finish.”
I never set out to be a “director.” My focus was alway centered around storytelling onstage or behind the mic. You know, from the actor's lens. But as the old saying goes, “if you want to make god laugh, tell him your plans.” I suppose I was always observing directors, curious about their process and the energy of the rooms they cultivated. I’ve witnessed many approaches, but there’s one fundamental truth- the best stories are born from unabashed collaboration.
