Varied Levels
University and Colleges
From Engineering to Arts and Science, Shawn has presented theory and practical workshops aiding skills in a variety of areas for University level students.
Early Education
The formative years are the stepping stones for all that is to come. Starting early with Improvisation not only gives great advantages to the students but it makes future education easier.
Theatre Arts Schools
Having taught at various national theatres and academies, Shawn's work within the arts field as an important supplement to traditional training has been met with great enthusiasm.
High School
In the transition years into adulthood, the skills of adaptation, flexibility, awareness and self awareness are in high need. Improvisation is the tool to hone.
Special Needs
Shawn has worked with those who have physical, mental and emotional challenges. Improvisation is proving it's worth as a benefit in development and recovery.
