Hi, I’m Ella!
I am a multidisciplinary performing and teaching artist, currently based in Paris and originally from Colorado.
I’m currently studying at Ecole Philippe Gaulier, as clowning has taken over my life and is currently my primary mode of performance. If you need an actor, though, I still do that too!
Business things: I received my BFA in Acting from Syracuse University. My performing and devising works have been seen at the Alvin Ailey Citigroup Theater, The 24 Hour Plays Off-Broadway, 59E59, and Manhattan Movement Arts Center.
But who am I?
a clown
a genderpunk
a teacher
an enigma…
