Teaching

With over 20 years experience in teaching, Lolly has taught everything from classrooms full of 40 kindergartners, blossoming college students, and one-on-one coaching with professional actors for network and feature films. Her priority as an educator and coach is always the same: create a space where students feel brave, supported, and excited to take artistic risks.
