COMING TO CSU SUMMER ARTS NEXT SUMMER!
This past year, I was fortunate enough to work with three incredible teachers: Stacy Dawson Stearns, Matthew Floyd Miller, and Brendan McCall. These three have a shared lineage—having all studied together at NYU’s Experimental Theatre Wing with Mary Overlie, Stephen Wangh, Paul Langland, and more. Their practice and approach to theatre is deeply physical, highly integrated, and incredibly empowering.
I thought: how can I get these three into the same space at the same time so that I and others can dive headfirst into the physical explorations they are so fluent in?
The answer of course, was CSU Summer Arts. After getting all three onboard with my idea for a two-week physical theatre intensive, I immediately turned to Sophie Goldstein, whose own training and practice is rooted in physical, devised theatre, and whom I love working with. She agreed to be the course coordinator, and the five of us undertook a mad flurry of brainstorming, conference calls, planning, and exuberant structuring.
Within the span of about six weeks, the proposal for “Acting From the Neck Down: The Integrated Actor” was finalized and submitted.
Today we found out that our course has been accepted for the summer of 2020!!!!!! Much more information to come, but for now, I am so grateful and excited and I hope that many of you will join us for this life-changing experience next year.

Three years ago, a massacre.
Three years ago, terror.
Three years ago, Pulse Orlando.
Three years ago, Lin gave us these words as a balm for wounded hearts that are forever marked:
“We lived through times when hate and fear seemed stronger;
We rise and fall and light from dying embers, remembrances that hope and love last longer
And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside.”
