Hi, I’m Jonelle!
I’m a Toronto-based actor, teacher and group facilitator who focuses on movement and physicality in my work. I believe our bodies hold personal history and emotion and that, by utilizing movement, we can discover a new key — and gain confidence and new understanding to empower our best selves.
As an acting coach I draw on over 15 years of experience in theatre and film/television to build characters that are nuanced and dynamic. I believe all roles are physical roles, and work with actors either online or in person to prepare for their next audition or booking. Check out my instagram page for more info.
As a performer I learned how to walk into public speaking engagements with ease, how to work WITH my tension, rather than ignore it. I love helping others discover that they can feel at home in their own bodies, even when sensations of anxiety or stress arise… and am passionate about offering up practical tools to individuals and groups looking for a more embodied experience.
I am currently a teacher at The Dirt Underneath Actor’s Space, coach online, and offer group workshops tailored to either artistic or corporate engagements.
Please reach out to book a discovery meeting or session!
Looking forward to working together -
Jonelle
