Graduate Student Connor Graham Studies Eccentric Principles at Celebration Barn

This summer Graduate Student Connor Graham visited South Paris, ME, where he studied under Avner Eisenberg at the Celebration Barn. At a week-long intensive workshop, Graham studied Eccentric Principles, a clowning technique developed by Eisenberg and his late wife Julie Goell. About the training, Graham writes, "I should always be interested in the task at hand, rather than attempt to be interesting for my audience." He hopes to return to the Celebration Barn to continue his studies in physical theatre.
