"Working with Robert Serrell on my voice has been an extremely inspiring process. He has helped me to discover a voice in me I'd always hoped was there and always longed to find, a voice of strength and authenticity. He guided me to let go in moments I wanted to hold on and those were the moments I found the most growth. I found Robert to be a very supportive and specific teacher. If you are looking to connect more to your power and truth and learn how to effortlessly communicate that into the world then Robert Serrell would be a coach I'd highly recommend looking into." –Brittany Daniel, actress

ONE WEEK Theatrical Clown
with Jean E. Taylor
One Week, 2.5 hours per day, $345
January 7th thru 11th, 2019
Theatrical clown teaches us many things about ourselves as performers: how to begin from a place of simple yet energized presence, how to sustain the pleasure of playing in the moment, how to mine the power of doing one thing at a time, and above all, clown helps us accept our own unique ridiculousness, which in turn may transform our habits of restriction into skills of open expression.
