| Introduction | The current that moves me is a flow of creativity, as mysterious as life itself and as simple as breathing. It guided me into a career as an actor, first in film and TV in L.A. and then, sensing that path wa not the healthiest, to ensemble, experimental theatre. In 1978, I co-founded Traveling Jewish Theatre. Though I still act, write and direct there, I'm spending more time now working with people one-to-one and in groups as a "creativity guide" and teacher of solo performance, writing and improvisation using my more than forty years of experience to evoke and support the creative energy that runs through us all. |
