Meet the Instructor: 

For more than a decade Dan has been training in the art of improvisation, taking classes and workshops from top industry voices and performing on a half dozen teams, while also training in Screen Acting techniques and appearing in a score of short films. Utilizing the principles of acting and applying them to "real" life, Dan has taught professional workshops on Collaboration and Team Dynamics. His desire is to enable creative people to get their work made and seen, especially the next generation. You may have seen Dan on the Aloha Theatre stage in "The Laramie Project", as George Bailey in "It's a Wonderful Life", as a member of "The Hi-Line" or behind the scenes as Stage Manager for "Fantastic Mr. Fox."

Everyday Dan witnesses the highest creativity in his wife Amy and children Mercy (11), Eowyn (9), Bethel (7), and David Marcus (0.1).
