About
”Ox Academy is just a name, to a service I had naturally provided for years already. Between productions, I had been invited to teach at schools across the country, and the joy of seing motivated and engaged students of all ages inspired me to make it a more available service.
The mission of Ox academy, is to give anyone with a creative desire, the tools, self
confidence and space to dive deeper.”
