About Jeffrey
Jeffrey is a celebrated teacher of theatre and has directed, taught and developed training programs at schools, university’s and theatres around the world.

About Conservatory NYC
The Conservatory is an institution committed to extending its experience and knowledge by cultivating and empowering their hard working actors. Their philosophy is grounded in the notion that a repeated systematic approach to training is the key to learning the craft of acting. Knowing that there is no such thing as two of a kind in this work, they specifically focus on individual growth at the individual level, with the direct objective to inspire and release in the actor their true potential and ability – no matter what experience level the actor is currently working at.

At the Conservatory they work with elements of widely recognized and renowned systems but focus primarily on the practice and research related to Michael Chekhov’s psycho-physical approach and its many forms of application – this focus has been proven to provide the necessary inspiring techniques and tools which can be directly incorporated into the actors work to support their choices
