“It is hard for me to imagine what my life would be like if I hadn’t met Byrne and Joyce Piven. It is hard to define what great teachers give to one as an actor but there are two things that Byrne and Joyce taught me that have always stood me in good stead. One is a sense of play. Two is no matter how lost or disconnected you may feel in a scene there is always a magic conduit you can reconnect to and that is your fellow actors. The ability to listen. I will be forever grateful to Byrne and Joyce for this and so much more.”
“The Piven Theatre Workshop taught me how to commit, take risks, and believe in myself.”
“I learned from Joyce Piven that theatre games could include everyone all the time. She is a teacher who offers praise for steps in the direction of risky truth, and of courage in personal interactions.”
