WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“Barbara's improv classes will rearrange your DNA -- and it's not just for actors. It's for anyone (introvert or extrovert) who wants to explore how to easily connect to self in the moment, and move and interact more authentically in this crazy world.”
~ Musician, composer Lauren Fincham

"Barbara has changed the way I do everything. I’m a violinist (budding performance artist) working with my therapist Barbara Colaciello. It’s been a revelation to spend close time with her to explore expression even though I spent my whole life allegedly expressing music.." —Philip Pan, violinist

“Working with Barbara = Transformative, Enlightening, Rigorous, Beautiful, Liberating, Radical. What possible reason could someone have for passing this opportunity by???”
~Actor, Educator, Activist, Julian Goldhagen
