Julie Goell and her husband Avner "The Eccentric" Eisenberg, who shares the Irving Suss post at Colby as Guest Artist, are developing an original pedagogy in Eccentric Performance. The groundwork of their teaching lies in establishing basic relaxation and comfort on stage from which the performer can improvise with confidence, generate original material, communicate with an audience, and finally develop a stage persona that is distinct, hilarious and grounded.
