The GAP

ok. i missed a big gap of time in this log of my movements. And that is because I spent this past summer/ fall training super intensively with my mentor, Kari Margolis, at her training center upstate. August 1st - October 21st I trained 5 hours a day, 5 days a week in the margolis method of physical acting. And it felt GOOD!

I have been studying the method for many years, but this year I wanted to really focus my energies on that practice. I am happy to say the experience was expansive for me as a performer. After that intensive period i feel myself poised to create greatness in my own performance projects. Additionally, i spent a lot of time and energy drawing connections between this cohesive physical theater training and exercises I will use to train actors and puppeteers in the manipulation of objects, puppets, props, costumes, and scenery. Ask me to consult with your theater company and I'll share my excitement and expand your vision of movement onstage.
