Eli Bell

Eli has been with Piven Theatre since 1999, first as an eager student and now as a teacher and director of Performance Project and the Young People’s Company, both of which she was honored to participate in as a student. Needless to say, Piven is his home. The Workshop’s focus on connection to impulse and intuition, to the body, and to others through individual and ensemble-based play informs her work as an illustrator, designer, ballroom dance instructor, Shiatsu Massage practitioner, and facilitator of intuitive art-making workshops. All of which help him to empower students by encouraging them to take risks, find their unique voice and inherent gifts in a safe space.
