Sign-Up Now"Cate’s class has changed my life. With such gentleness and kindness, she is killing the people pleaser in me and pushing me to be a leader in my craft. By no longer looking to others for validation, but rather finding happiness and fun in the work, I have experienced the freedom to create. I now have ownership in knowing where and how I want to really grow. As a result, my work has improved more in her class than the past decade of classes; and newfound confidence is now spilling into other areas of my life. I am forever thankful for Cate."
- Blaine Saunders, The Middle
"David gives you the license to make bold choices in your work. He creates a safe environment to play, make mistakes, and figure out what works for you in any given scene. He has years of practical experience working on sets and is keenly aware of the specific needs of actors. He is a powerful artist who also happens to be incredibly sensitive and kind — basically, everything I could ask for in a teacher."
- Cate Cohen, JANE THE VIRGIN
"Cate leads with the permission to play, which has opened up so many exciting things in my work. Cate has this incredible ability to through the bullshit and get to the heart of it all. She is the rare kind of teacher that you almost welcome falling on your face in front of. She champions you and the alchemy of connecting to the world and people in front of you through truth-telling and the celebration of your talent."
- Briggon Snow, SEAL TEAM
"Trey challenged us, but made it a safe environment to take chances in. So much energy is spent worrying about perfection, or reasons "why not" in this industry. But we're all capable of way more than we're used to giving ourselves credit for. Everyone is so comfortable with Trey and jumped right into playing with each other, and exploring the scenes we wrote, without fear."
-John K Moeslein, BLINDSPOTTING
"Since I’ve been taking Cate’s class I have seen tremendous growth in my approach to the work. She creates a place where I feel completely safe to play, allowing me the freedom to come to class with every part of me and just simply “BE.” As a result, I approach my work not trying to impress onlookers by making the “right” choices but simply to affect my scene partner. I’m deeply grateful to Cate and The BGB Studio for cultivating an environment conducive to artistic growth."
- Terrell Martin, Catch
