Comments
from those who have worked with Dossy:
Thank
you, Dossy, for all that you have opened my eyes to and all you have
opened my heart to: the "truth", so to speak, in acting; the humanness
in acting; the sheer joy in acting.

Dossy's
coaching for the Stageloft Repertory Theatre's production of Twelfth
Night was invaluable to me, and something rare. Her approach combined
equal doses of critical insight, supportiveness, and an amazing intuition
for both what feels real, and what's dramatically interesting. Plus
she's a delight to work with.

Dossy
Peabody's own experience as a gifted actor informs her work with you.
In a safe and supportive environment, she guides you to aim for your
highest level of work. With an amazing sense of perception and sensitivity,
she brings you to your own truths - to learn to trust your heart's wisdom
- to trust your instincts. You will instantly trust her, because you
can. You will have fun, too. You work in a gentle and rigorous way that
cannot help but lift you up to your next level of acting - it is a powerful
collaboration between coach and actor. It is exhilarating!

Dossy's
work for my solo and ensemble shows has meant their survival and success.
An actor's personal motivation, talent, and intellect can only go so
far; Dossy's sharp objectivity and feel for what an audience needs to
see from its performers has been invaluable.

Working
with Dossy is a creative treat! She is a gifted coach, who is both rigorous
in the work and extremely supportive of the actor. The combination of
those qualities inspires trust and leades to a rich process that is
filled with discovery and creative surprises.

Peabody is a supportive coach and a friend to all actors. Having been
a working actor herself, she knows the art of acting and the business
as well. Dossy has worked with me in developing several monologues.
I have found her direction to be creative, flexible, and helpful in
bringing my material to life. I most definately recommend Dossy as a
teacher, coach, and director.

I have
taken a number of acting classes both in Rhode Island and the Boston
area. None has given me the proficiency in both approaching a role andworking
with a character as my work with Dossy. Working with Dossy hashelped
me in my networking capabilities immensely, and this has becomeexceedingly
important as my acting career has advanced. Dossy brings thesame passion
for acting to her students that she has brought to her manyroles making
for a rewarding experience both as an actor and human being.

You coached
me for the Source auditions. You did a wonderful job - I got three professional
calls right away and have been working eversince. I have been thinking
about you and your wonderful coaching style - so specific and still
so supportive.

I have
studied with a number of teachers, and Dossy Peabody, I can say certainly
will help you learn the craft in a fun and safe environment that will
let you gain a sense of confidence.

I feel
like I'm being fed when I go to a coaching session with Dossy. Her encouragement
is never-ending, her feedback is always constructive and supportive,
and the safety she has created in the rehearsal studio enables me to
forget about my inner critic and charge ahead in performance. Dossy
is truly a remarkable teacher and coach.
