ALEX GOULD
Teacher and Stage Combat Specialist
Alex J. Gould (he/him) is originally from Brockton, MA. He moved to New York City to study acting at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy.
He has worked Off Broadway and Off-Off Broadway, most recently in the Obie Winning play The Woodsman at New World Stages.

He has also done work with Rattlestick Theater, 24 hour Plays: Nationals, The Jewish Plays Project (14th Street Y Theater), The Lark, NYC International Fringe Festival. He has worked regionally at such places as Williamstown Theater, McCarter Theater, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland.
While studying at AMDA, he became very interested and excelled at stage combat. He continued his studies and started fight directing shows. Alex has choreographed for such places as Williamstown Theater Festival, The Flea Theater, Ensemble Studio Theater, Adirondack Theater Festival, NYC Fringe Festival, The New School for Drama, St. Peter's University. He has a strong belief that the fight choreography goes beyond having a fight that is choreographed for a specific moment, but that it is a moment that is told through physical story telling.
Over the years, he has continued to grow as a performer, director and educator through each experience that he has gone through on and offstage. He takes great joy in working with people of all ages to help broaden their minds and help them dig deep inside themselves to allow their instincts to guide them, mentally and physically.
