What I Offer

As a diverse artist, I work in the performing arts in a number of ways. Check it out:

  • Every production begins with a story worth telling.

    As a director, I strive to create theatre that is emotionally truthful, visually compelling, and deeply collaborative. My process emphasizes curiosity, clear communication, and respect for every member of the production team, fostering rehearsal rooms where artists can take creative risks and produce their strongest work.

    Whether working with students, community theatres, or professional artists, I approach every production with the same goal: to create performances that resonate long after the curtain falls.

    Available for:

    • Plays

    • Musicals

    • New Works

    • Staged Readings

    • Educational Theatre

    • Community & Regional Theatre

  • Authentic storytelling begins with trust.

    I integrate consent-based practices into the rehearsal process to support actors, directors, and production teams in creating emotionally honest performances while prioritizing communication, agency, and safety. Whether a production includes a single intimate moment or centers on themes of vulnerability, my work is tailored to the unique needs of each company.

    My approach draws from current best practices in intimacy direction while remaining flexible to the artistic goals of the production and the needs of the people involved.

    Services include:

    • Intimacy choreography

    • Consent-based rehearsal practices

    • Boundary setting and documentation

    • Director consultation

    • Actor support

    • Educational theatre consultation

  • Interactive learning designed for artists, educators, and theatre organizations.

    I offer workshops that combine practical theatre skills with collaborative rehearsal practices, providing participants with tools they can immediately apply in the classroom, rehearsal hall, or performance space. Every workshop is adapted to the experience level, goals, and needs of the organization.

  • "What stands out most to me about my time with Mrs. Rae? How we’re able to work through every bump in the road we face. Lighting system not working? We figure it out. Set pieces not looking good? We figure that out too."

    — Kaydence Hutton, Class of 2026

  • "Rachel has a heart for working with kids and building programs that showcase their talents."

  • "Despite not having her class, just being in her last few shows and watching the productions made the atmosphere a lot more friendly and comfortable to be myself."

  • “She’s a kind, caring person who wants people to be successful. She can be mean though when you aren’t behaving 🤣 She made me realize how much I love makeup and beauty and is part of the reason I want to pursue cosmetology.”

    — Rose Bibby, Class of 2023

  • “I observed Ray’s passion, dedication, and genuine curiosity in everything they did. Working with a core group of students, Ray created a space where theatre and performance became a true ‘home’ at school."

    — Ginny Miles, Fellow English & Electives Teacher

  • “Mrs. Erazo made me feel comfortable in the space super fast—I found myself making friends and speaking up instead of being quiet all the time. She helped me feel braver about acting, talking, and singing on stage.”

    — Nathan Wright, Class of 2028

  • "I can absolutely see Ray as a fabulous adjunct professor. Their ability to trust and delegate to students rather than micromanage is something college-level arts programs would benefit from.”
