Meet Chris Hancock
We have another new contributor to TheatreLouisville. Chris Hancock is a recent graduate of the Youth Performing Arts School as a Theatre Major/Musical Theatre Minor here in Louisville. You may have seen Chris in shows at YPAS, Clarksville Little Theatre (he's currently there in Pippin), Music Theatre of Louisville, and Heartbeat Community Theatre, to name a few. He is the owner/director of Apex Theatre Company, a new arrival to the Louisville theatre scene. Chris has studied with students of Kristin Linklater and her voice training, Anne Bogart's ViewPoints, Eugenio Barba and his theatre movement technique, and several acting techniques of Sandy Meisner, Stella Adler, Uta Hagen and Bertolt Brecht. He has written countless reviews and literary analyses on theatre history, period styles, acting techniques, and plays.
Chris likes to pick the brains of directors in his seemingly unquenchable thirst for theatre knowledge. He recently interviewed Georgette Kleier about her experiences in directing The Importance of Being Earnest, and is glad to share it with our readers. Go here to read it.
