Throughout more than 20 years as a professional performer Michelle has explored, delved and developed her creative process through the classic theatrical training of Uta Hagen, the awareness building practices of Rasa Yoga & The Nia Technique and a variety of meditation, writing and moving practices that foster and encourage awareness, emotional agility & pure creativity!

Michelle is drawn to the immediacy and heightened states possible in live performance. Her work with Elynn Diamond transformed her capacity to be fully present for the experience of true, connected performance and raised the bar of her expectations for and from live performance.

The Theatre lures her with its kinetic possibilities... human energy, conviction, enthusiasm, emotion—connecting to one other person… the possibility of moving one person to think, feel or behave larger than life…the opportunity to feel, think, reveal and be another person—live another lifetime.

Singing — communicating through song — surrendering voice to the Source — calls her with its intense vulnerability, aliveness and soaring sensations. Her own desire to live life OUT LOUD informs her self-created mission to encourage even one person to be more fully alive, dare to connect to their own heart’s longing. Be present. Fulfilled.

Michelle is committed to a lifetime of creative growth through risk taking, self-discovery and craft-study. Eager to satiate her love for life by exploring every aspect of being human, Michelle continues to explore her own humanity through roles that she plays, songs that she writes, classes & workshops that she teaches, other artists she collaborates with and living her life wide open.
