Testimonials
Performers value Post as a hands-on coach and kindred spirit, the ideal collaborator. Here’s what they say:
Karen Montanaro: I really can’t say enough about Robert Post as a director. He has transformed several of my pre-existing performance pieces and collaborated with me on new works. As a director, Robert is unique in that he sees and carefully extracts the possibilities inherent in my work . . . possibilities that I could not have seen or accessed on my own. Working with Robert has been an intense adventure in self-discovery and self-expression, proving to me that finding one’s director is like finding oneself.
Michael Trautman: After thirty years of performing and touring throughout the world, I felt the need for a new direction in my work – an Artistic-Kick-in-the-Pants as it were. I turned to my friend Robert Post. Robert is an artist whose work I have admired and respected since we first met in the early 80’s. As my director for the past two and a half years, Robert’s vision, dedication, and attention to detail has helped me raise my level of writing, rehearsing, and performing to a point where I am once again excited about stepping out on stage. I would recommend Robert as a director to any of my peers who seek to reach new heights in their Art.
Amanda Houtari, Executive Director, Celebration Barn Theatre: In working with Robert on both my solo material and on our ensemble show, I’ve found his direction to be incredibly perceptive. He has a remarkable ability to identify the heart and soul of the material, and to bring clarity and power. With each of the the three projects I’ve brought to him, he’s lead me towards distilling the work and then turning the volume way up. He’s added precision, dimension, honesty, physicality, surprises, and a playfulness which makes the material infinitely more fun to perform. He has helped to launch me in new directions with confidence by giving me ideas, guidelines, tools and the encouragement to get there. I look forward to more!
Jack Golden: I have worked with Robert as a director on a variety projects and have always been amazed at the process and results. Whatever your style; dance, mime, clown, public speaking, Robert has the unique ability to jump right and see the work though your eyes. Helping you discover insights that speak not only to the project at hand, but to the world at large. I highly recommend this unique man.
Molly Gawler: The artistic process often feels like spelunking as we search around in the dark unknown. Robert Post is like a beacon of light guiding us to clarity. Sometimes it takes breaking open the geode in order to find the gems, and when working with Robert it is done with love and care with the greatest attention to detail.
Victoria Angel: Robert Post is steeped in Comedy Theater and yet he is brilliant when directing choreographers. I experienced this, and observed others, to know he goes deeply inside one’s creative process. His attention to detail brings endless ideas to the surface. He provides insight, innovation and passion layered with a wicked sense of humor.
