About Kira
I am an international actor, director, educator, and mentor who is passionate about providing actors with the tools, empowerment, and agency required to become flourishing independent creative artists at all stages of their lives and careers. My coaching practice has developed throughout my over 10 years experience working professionally as an actor, theatremaker, musical theatre performer, devisor, improviser, and even a renaissance faire performer! Originally from the American midwest, I am now based in London. I trained in acting and directing at Rose Bruford College (London) where I received an MFA in International Theatre Practice & Performance, and I hold a Bachelors degree in Theatre and Vocal Performance from Cornell College (Iowa.) Additionally, I've trained at Viewpoints London, and at the Demidov Studio London. I’m an absolute geek about acting theory and have studied extensively the creation of actor training as we know it stemming from Stanislavsky and his ideas. I run my own virtual coaching studio of 4 years, inspiring actors both in the US and the UK to claim their authentic creative identities and infuse their essence it into their art.

Sessions Online via Zoom, or can arrange travel to you in London Zones 1 - 4. Offering individualised coaching sessions and ongoing curriculum to artists at all stages of their career from beginner students to full-time jobbing actors. I work with each student individually to create lessons and mentorship that suit their needs. Working with me can include: • Drama School Entrance Coaching (at all levels) • Self-Tape & General Audition Prep • Cultivating New Audition Repertoire or Reinvigorating Old Repertoire • Actor Training (foundations, technique, characterisation, and script analysis) • Developing Preparation Process for the Actor-Creator • Shakespeare Performance • Goal Setting & Career Strategy Support • Speech and Presenting Skills • Holistic Actor-Artist Accountability & Mentorship I specialise in helping my clients reconnect with their creativity in order to best develop artistic practices that work for them. This artform really requires actors to bring their full selves into their work and it is my goal as a coach to help you identify and cultivate all you can bring to a room as your most uninhibited creative self! CURRICULUM I am well versed in Stanislavsky, Meisner, Viewpoints, Laban, and have dabbled in Alexander Technique among many other theories and frameworks. I am highly influenced by Nikolai Demidov, one of Stanislavsky's contemporaries, and his theories of cultivating true creative freedom in the actor and am passionate about nurturing other actor-creators (like myself!) Much of my actor training sessions revolve around developing character preparation processes using a framework I created called The Preparation Menu which is designed to provide tangible tools and tasks to apply to any role before you even get in the room with other collaborators. I also provide accessible guidance surrounding text work, analysis, and delivery of Shakespeare and other heightened classical texts.

Kira is the fiercest advocate I have for my creative progress and joy. She is my first stop for coaching when I have new material or feel stuck artistically. Her approaches are innovative, pushing me in new directions while ensuring I feel comfortable and confident. Kira wants you to be fulfilled as an actor/artist, and she has the breadth of knowledge and depth of human understanding to get you there.
Kira is very professional and prepared, she reviewed my material in advance of our coaching and came with a lot of great questions to help me hash out my character. For actual coaching, she gave me a lot of great ways to think about this scene, guiding me with great direction and also letting me think out ideas myself. I felt super ready for the scene when we went to shoot it and it went super great thanks to my prep with Kira.
Hi there Superprof community!
I have been working with Kira as my acting coach for the past 2.5 years. Kira was there with me on my entire grad school audition journey, and I had incredible results - I garnered callbacks for 16 different MFA and certificate programs through the URTA's.
I have a professional background in theatre, and have been in the industry for over ten years, and I hold my BFA in Acting. Yet, after the pandemic my stage anxiety went sky high and I was struggling with confidence in auditions. Kira and I have focused on a holistic approach to auditioning, helping me get back in my body and creative spirit within the audition room and beyond. I have booked two lead film roles (indie/web series) that Kira helped coach me on and I give a lot of credit to her in being able to help me succeed across mediums, from theatre to film.
Kira has also helped rewrite my resume and has given impeccable advice when it comes to industry logistics, encouraging me to step outside of my comfort zone and go for it! Every coaching with her is an adventure and I come out of each session with renewed faith in my potential and renewed joy in the craft.
Thank you Kira! Superprof community, you better scoop her up!In the span of nearly a year collaborating with Kira, I have witnessed a remarkable evolution in my abilities. My self-assurance and proficiency in my craft have notably increased, supported by new techniques and a deeper insight into character embodiment. Kira has also helped me develop an understanding of the industry's dynamics. Our efforts have been directed towards building a versatile repertoire, preparation for upcoming auditions, and tailored character preparation for each role. Implementing these strategies into my life has had a significant impact on my auditions and artistic development!
Kira and I worked at collaborators on my solo show for my Masters programme at Rose Bruford. She has a keen eye, a kind and fair delivery, and loads of creativity. When I was feeling particularly stuck, she always had a new tool or trick to pull out and try. I would definitely recommend her as a coach.
