Having trained extensively in Mask and Clown in my graduate school years, Clowning has since become an integral part of my teaching style and has revolutionized my approach to the craft of acting.
The key principles:
Childlike Playfulness
Audience Connection
Physical Storytelling
Failure as Success
Whether it be unjudgementally exploring a role in a rehearsal hall or helping a student eliminate self-consciousness and irreverently play, clowning has been paramount to my creative process.
