Kenny recently taught solo performance at the San Francisco Writer’s Conference, and will be teaching with an amazing panel at the upcoming LA Writer’s Conference!
I collaborate with solo performers to transform their shows into embodied, theatricalized plays using craft from established theatrical lineages including Stanislavski. I also use composition and choreography to transform the space into visual storytelling while looking for archetypal themes to add mythic dimension to the show.
I coach solo performers in devising new material or workshop existing shows. Each client receives a customized toolkit. I also pull from traditions such as Red Nose Clown, Theatre of the Oppressed, and Drama Therapy transformation methods to enable risk taking and experimentation.
The book I remember most from childhood is the big yellow D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths. Reading mythology led me to major in English Literature at UC Berkeley.
I am fortunate to have studied with professors in the Pacific Graduate Institute’s Mythological Studies department and at the Centre for Applied Jungian Studies. I also use my skills as a lifelong astrologer to provide readings for clients to draw on their mythic archetypes to inspire their performances.
Seeing solo show artists perform with their full being is a transpersonal experience for me. I love directing and coaching for this reason, and look forward to collaborating with you.
