Teaches at Brooklyn Brainery

Jess Milewicz recently moved to Brooklyn after graduating from the University of Tennessee Knoxville, where she earned her MFA in Acting. Jess has taught drama, music, and art to students of various ages and abilities ranging from Early Childhood Education to the graduate level. She has also travelled up and down the East Coast, working as a Behavioral Therapist for children with Autism and other related disorders. After using Classical text to help teach rhythm in language to non-verbal students, she returned to graduate school to pursue her love for the arts.

As an actress, she has performed with Clarence Brown Theatre, Theatre Knoxville, Tennessee Stage Company, the Bijou Theatre (Knoxville, TN); Source Theatre, Vienna Theatre Company (Washington DC); Kentucky Shakespeare (Louisville, KY); Great River Shakespeare Festival (Winona, MN); Chautauqua Theater Company (NY), among others. Most recently Jess just wrapped a feature film entitled UP THE RIVER, which will be released in the early Spring. Currently she offers services in private coaching in acting, audition, text analysis, and character development.
