“I learned so much from Roseanne! She selflessly gives many secret recipes for becoming an amazing actor! She was humorous and kept it real. The feedback she gave was presented in the most respectful way. A very bright and warm soul who encourages you to explore and get messy so you can develop your performance process. I was thoroughly impressed with how Creatives Empowered virtually executed this amazing opportunity wonderfully!”
“I wanted to say thank you to you all, for such a lovely workshop and for making it so welcoming for us all. It ran smoothly, and it was extremely informative but also comforting. It brings you peace being in a room with people who understand you and the hardships you face because they face them in some way too. It was beautiful looking into this mirror because those people were strong, so thank you. I hope to see you all again someday!”

I came out with a deeper passion for the art and performance growth. I’m so grateful to Creatives Empowered for running this workshop!”
