Zack seeks to partner with each unique student in their journey towards artistic expression.
For Zack, the clown embodies the rambunctious hope and baffling chaos of our humanity. Full of curiosity and trepidation, the clown dares to stand directly in the present moment, the place where the stage and the world meet, and in that place allows us to see, to look, to feel. The clown stands there for our delight and for something even greater – the pleasure of our togetherness, the tender magic of our collective imagination.
Zack loves helping people celebrate the joy and power of their unique playfulness.
Zack believes that through play we find connection and through connection, we find more play, and from this grows theatre.
Zack loves helping people cultivate the muscles of their curiosity.
Zack believes his job is to simply partner with each person first and foremost — to meet them where they are — and join them in their search to reclaim what they already possess.
In the end, it is a willingness to learn and let go. To try, to fail, and to try again. We all fall short at times, but when we are in an environment that embraces failure as a necessary and beautiful step towards artistic growth, then falling short always becomes an opportunity, not a setback.
