Hey everyone! Those of you who read my blog entry The Power of Laughter know how highly I think of Joel Jeske. He's my collaborator/co writer on Alice...in Wonderland - believe me, I do not decide to co write with someone lightly. I've only done so twice in my life (see Guide To Collaboration) and would only do so with someone I think is truly exceptional, and brilliant. And Joel is.
Many people have asked me where they can study the kind of physical comedy/clowning I've discussed in some of my entries. Well - here's your opportunity! (And for straight actors, musical theater performers, singers, dancers - this would be awesome for you too!)
Joel, along with Mark Lonergan - artistic director of the Drama Desk nominated Parallel Exit, will be teaching a fantastic comedy master class the first two weeks of April.
Here's all the info. And please follow Parallel Exit on Facebook to stay in the loop on their future classes.
