Jeremy Sortore

Jeremy Sortore has over two decades of experience offering collaborative coaching to actors and other performing artists who seek to connect to a sense of embodied artistry and communicate what matters through breath, movement, and sound. As an educator/clinician with international experience and a coach for Tony Award-winning regional theaters, Jeremy is focused on actor-centered processes that emphasize collaboration, consent, curiosity, and community.

He has collaborated as a director/coach with Dr. Liz DeBetta on her solo, autoethnographic spoken-word pieces "Me, She, They: Our Bodies Are Not the Problem" and "Un-M-Othered: A Story of Adoption and Patriarchy", which won the award for Best Autobiographical Show at the 2022 United Solo Festival in NYC. His directing/facilitation approach utilizes elements of Liz Lerman's Critical Response Process, Lisa Peck's via positiva, Hamel and Cahill's concept of respiratory responsibility, and the philosophical underpinnings of the Fitzmaurice Voice Institute, whose Eight Values he helped author.
