Students are drawn to alumnus Quin Gordon's class for the practical tools they are given that will make them self-sufficient when they graduate and head out into a challenging profession. It is his goal that students no longer need him at the end of four years.
My teaching style is passionate, rigorous and honest. I believe in an acting class that challenges, but is not invasive of, the student actor. The environment of my class is safe for the actor, but dangerous for the character.
