Teaching Style

I make theatre. I can show you how to do that. It's an on-your-feet craft if you're acting. Playwright, actor or director you'll need an open mind, an open heart & a willingness to challenge things - and be challenged yourself. Dylan Thomas wrote of his poetry as "my craft or sullen art". All story-telling is a craft or sullen art. Theatre's just one of many ways to tell a story.

My Hobbies

Other Comments

www.thefreedictionary.com/wrought - It's not playwriting. It's playwrighting. A playwright works with all the other theatre artists needed to make a play. Literature is different. mark@listen.to
