Atkins 
Acting Teacher

From diverse professional experiences, I bring a broad spectrum of approaches to all sessions. Over the decades, they have formed a system that bridges classical training with contemporary innovation. My work is grounded in the dynamic interplay of intersections—crosspoints between modern and postmodern approaches, between the actor and the story, between the text and lived experience.

 

The Crosspoints approach was created while I was colleagues with some of the world's most prominent artist-teachers. They developed over decades, holistically and practically, as I worked in various studios and academies worldwide.

 

The system provides fluid, adaptive, and invigorating frameworks for actors seeking a deeper connection to their expressive range.​

 

While every workshop on this site is self-contained, together they form a comprehensive arc of training that contributes to an actor's individual, sustainable practice.
