HOW CAN WE WORK TOGETHER?
As a stage actor, I’ve been making audiences laugh, think, cry, and question. After all the years of performing, I am reminded of the work that went into each performance that audiences never saw. And I’m most inspired by the choices actors make while training and rehearsing. Recreating someone else's life onstage is no easy task. Actors are following highly complicated scripts while not appearing to be. And as an actor, I am most excited when I am living in the moment, discovering a universal truth in the stories I tell.
I invite you to explore with me. I invite you to collaborate on my journey, now uniquely offstage. What can non-actors learn about living in the moment or about universal truths? My colleagues and mentors: Viola Spolin, Anne Bogart, Anna Deavere Smith, Julie Taymor, Augusto Boal, and Paul Sills continue to reshape my work.
For over two decades, I’ve lived my professional life engaging audiences as they reflect while sitting in a dark theatre. Now, I channel my time and energy into a new experience dedicated to teaching and facilitating the skills to non-actors so they can make their audiences laugh, think, cry, and question.
I call this work, "Making the invisible – visible."
