Sean Riley

Sean’s life experience has led him on a path to proudly claim the title of a multi-multi-hyphenate. He found his acting home at AMAW by chance in 2005 and was lucky enough to start teaching in 2008. AMAW is where he has had the opportunity to work with many hundreds of students along their path to find who they can be as performers and creatives. Recently he has also become certified in Transitional Life Coaching, Ayurvedic health and Meditation. He started performing and at the age of 14 when he discovered that he could act, sing, dance, build and paint sets and get out of class to do it! By the time he graduated high school he was working as an actor, dancer and choreographer… and getting paid for it! Being an over achiever… or just wanting to stay busy in College… he did every musical production he could while touring internationally with the University’s Modern Dance Company. By the time college was over he had a BFA in Dance with minors in Theatre, French and Voice. After graduation he moved to Los Angeles to continue working in theater in the Southern California region and had the chance to do a few fun film and commercial projects along the way. He also worked as an accountant, personal chef and bank teller… all before finding AMAW. His greatest joy is and always has been to help others find who they are, who they want to be and how to achieve that through their creative exploration.
