About A Rebel Collective.
The World Told You Who to Be. This Space Asks Who You Are.
The Rebel Collective was born from necessity—mine.
After years in an industry (and a world) that told me who I was supposed to be—too much, not enough, too loud, too emotional—I spent most of my career trying to shrink myself to fit a mold.
Eventually, the fight wears you down. You start to believe the noise.
You start to think maybe they’re right—maybe you should just stay in your place.
But something inside me never stopped whispering:
You are more. You always have been.
That voice—the one we’re all born with—gets buried under years of conditioning.
Especially if you’re a woman. Especially if you’re creative. Especially if you’ve been told to stay small.
That voice?
That’s your truth. That’s your art.
That’s where rebellion lives.
What We Do.
The Rebel Collective is not just a training space. It’s a creative home for the misfits, the dreamers, the ones who stayed behind when the world told them to move on.
We make art from the gut—not the ego. From the wound. From the joy.
From the place that still believes in something bigger.
This isn’t about hitting your marks or memorizing lines.
This is about peeling back the layers until you find what’s really there—and making something beautiful, raw, and real with it.
Whether you’re acting, writing, directing, or trying to rediscover your voice, this is a space to connect through creation. Every class, workshop, or mentorship is a return to what matters most:
Humanity. Honesty. And the courage to tell the truth.
Who Would You Be If The World Hadn't Told You Who To Become?
[a note from jennifer]
Being an artist takes bravery—and a bit of rebellion.
Most people have a deep, quiet dream that gets buried under life.
But it’s the ones who dare to express that dream—who dare to show both the beauty and the ugliness through art—who change the world.
I started this Collective just wanting to teach a few classes.
What it’s become is something I could never have imagined:
A deeply connected community of artists who are not only doing the work but showing up for each other.
We’re just getting started.
Courses. Workshops. Guest teachers. Film nights.
Retreats. Staged readings. A membership platform with ongoing practices.
This is the creative home I always wished I had—and I’m so glad you’re part of it.
If you’re ready to create honestly, boldly, and—above all—humanly…
Welcome to the Collective.
And as always…
Just. Keep. Going.
