“Michael Jablonski is the epitome of an impactful educator! He leads with love and care, and fosters the ideal environment for creativity and exploration. He has mastered the balance of director/teacher and actor/student collaboration; ensuring that all participants feel safe, and that every voice is heard.

Sam Pearson

“Michael Jablonski is a class-act; not only as a performer and a teacher, but as a human. He goes leaps and bounds beyond the simple title of “educator.” He brings compassion, joy, tenderness and immense passion to every student he meets, every piece he choreographs and every class that he teaches. He taught me to never settle for less than my absolute best - and for that I am forever grateful.”
