The deep exploration we do in this class (think Indiana Jones) of ourselves in our truest forms, our connections in scene work, and the awareness for social issues that need our energy and attention, is truly a journey that I am inspired to continue after this. Thank you Gina!
Lael Mindes
I had no idea Feminist Acting Class would lead me to write & perform my own show! Gina is a brilliant artist and director who possesses an uncanny knack for pinpointing the artist within the actor and guiding you to go further than you ever thought you could.
Amber Hurst Martin
Feminist Acting Class came at a time when I needed it most. I felt seen as an artist in a way I had yet to experience. It gave me agency and changed the way I will approach my work as both actor and writer - that to me is invaluable. Shoutout to Zoom for allowing me to join from the East Coast!
Sophie Sagan-Gutherz
Feminist Acting Class has changed my teaching, my acting, the way I think about myself as an artist, the way I foster community and connections, and the way I approach working with others. THANK YOU!
Sallie Merkel
It's community building; it's a space to discover plays by women, trans and nonbinary playwrights; it challenged me and opened me up, and it has changed my life for the better.
Lex Ryan
A beautifully gentle and exuberant space in which I was able to stretch myself artistically and reach a level of authenticity and vulnerability that I didn't think was possible.
Sarah Furgatch
Feminist Acting Class helped me to be braver in my work, grounded me in my voice, introduced me to crucial feminist theater in LA, and started friendships that are my everything.
Audrey Dundee Hannah
Your session on Feminist Acting Class and your own personal journey was wonderful and enlightening. It dovetailed perfectly into the hot topics of intimacy and gender imbalance. So many of the directors and choreographers expressed how thankful they were to have you involved.
Ernest Figueroa, Co-Founder, Directors Lab West
I've met people I have formed real relationships with, professional and personal. We've shared jobs, resources, and moral support. We've performed with each other and/or amplified each others work. It's freeing, and something new.
Becky Poole
Feminist Acting Class is a 100 percent good idea for women and non-binary babes who want to be SEEN and HEARD as they actually are, instead of purely how the tired industry machine casts them.
Kait Schuster
Gina is a highly intuitive and skilled artist, so you could not be in better hands. You will learn, laugh, and make new friends! Do it!
Monique Reymond
Feminist Acting class gave me release from the boundaries of my traditional education. Gina opened doorways to plays, directors, and styles. The history of feminist theater combined with the stylistic innovation blew my head away and allowed me to discover my own story and history and build on my craft.
