​Giselle promotes positive ​self-esteem and creative expression through empowering theatre arts curriculum. She creates a safe, inclusive classroom, inspiring students to take artistic risks & engage in the world around them with curiosity and empathy. ​​

 Acting Coaching

Giselle offers private and small group coaching for students in middle school and high school who are auditioning for performing arts programs. Prices and schedule are affordable and flexible! 

Drama Clubs

Educational Theater experiences with Giselle focus on learning skills and lessons that will help students thrive in every aspect of their lives. Drama programs help students build confidence, improve their communication skills, and express creativity. Students learn how to collaborate and get along with their peers and free their minds to accomplish things they didn’t think they could achieve. Giselle uses positive energy, improv-based games and collaborative directing to brings the thrill of theater to students.
