Teaches at Brooklyn Brainery

Amy is a museum educator and theatre-maker.  She encourages the reawakening of our primal ability to communicate through body and voice, and the building of stronger communities through storytelling.

Trained as a director and choreographer, she holds a BFA from Marquette University and MFA from Mills College.  She co-runs a theatre ensemble called BrickaBrack, that makes original, audience-interactive work.  She is also currently a public docent at the New Museum, after spending many years as an educational docent with SFMoMA.  (Children are the best art-lookers!) 

As a facilitator for the Engaging Educator, Amy enjoys when students have an a-ha moment!  This could be when an idea really sinks in, when someone makes a discovery, or especially when they surprise us all, including themselves. Seeing someone shed their patterns or habits, step away from themselves, even just for a moment, and bring forth something new, is a very exciting thing.

    The exercises were great and what a wonderful group of people! The class opened up my eyes to think differently.
