• Master classes in Acting for Professionals (Basic, Intermediate, Advanced levels);
• Private Coaching;
• Workshop "Acting for the Camera" (Full-Day Intensive);

"...Catherine is there just for you. I do not know how she does it, but in a class of twelve students she makes me feel as though my development is the only thing important to her. Catherine's directness, ..., sensitivity, intelligence and elegance help us learn simply by example. I can not do justice on paper to her sterling and thoughtful efforts as a teacher..."

After studying with Catherine, I have gained a deep, abiding respect for the process of discovery... . Catherine is one of those people you remember for the rest of your life. I cannot approach anything I do in the performance arts, whether it is acting, singing, piano, or stand-up comedy without feeling her powerful influence. She is not just an excellent teacher but an extraordinary person. I am better for having known her."
