    One of my favorite improv teachers, Jet Eveleth, led me to Paola Coletto. When I interviewed Jet, several times she brought up the study of clown and its effect on improv, and when I asked Jet for more, she recommended I speak to Paola, her physical theater teacher. Of course, clown is not the circus thing- it's something much deeper and more rewarding for improvisers, and even stand up comedians. I am hoping I can get up to do some classes with her in the next year.This interview, truly, has some of the most out-of-the-box and impactful content we've seen! We talk about red nose, neutral mask, embodying animals, vulnerability and mime.

The masks helped me to get focused and to find my own personal voice in theatre. They introduced me to the great world of physical expression and they communicated with my love for visual arts and movement. The masks were my short cut to the fiction and to the other level. Masks brought into my working culture something sacred, the great respect and curiosity towards the otherness.

    Physical theatre studies (1999–)

    I followed my hunger for the masks and physical theatre and studied three years theatre following the pedagogy of Jacques Lecoq.  First in Paris at the École International de Théâtre de Jacques Lecoq where I attended in experimental scenography department L.E.M. (1999-2000) and after that I did the first year theatre studies (2000-2001).
