Hamnett, Susanna (Canada)

Originally from England, and having a classically-based actor training from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Susanna discovered the Pochinko clown method while in Toronto (now her home). For the past several years she has delightedly explored the application of clown in all aspects of theatrical performance and creation, as an artist-educator and, most recently, in adapting Shakespeare's 'King Lear'.
