This circus games aspect has existed since the beginning of my career.

As for acting, I took drama lessons when I was in high school.

I trained in the theatre.

I didn't learn anything about acting until I joined the Group Theatre. They taught me an entirely new approach, an entirely new technique.

Even though I was theatrically trained, learning to develop a character was an awesome experience.

Now, juggling can be a lot of fun; play with skill and play with space, play with rhythm.

But, yes, I learned everything working in theater. I learned the importance of community - I was constantly going to play readings, stand-up nights, improv. nights.

I never really excelled in any particular subject, but I was just alright at all of them. I never really knew what I wanted to do until I discovered drama.

I'm theater trained.

I learned much more about acting from philosophy courses, psychology courses, history and anthropology than I ever learned in acting class.
