Tell me about Eliot.<\/strong><\/p>\nHe\u2019s the best, he\u2019s my best friend. He\u2019s hilarious and odd, and he has the most infectious laugh and amazing sensibility with music. He\u2019s all vibe, today he\u2019s wearing crazy African pants and has a big fro. He just got married, it\u2019s awesome.<\/p>\n
Did you have a very musical upbringing?<\/strong><\/p>\nNot as like a collective, Eliot found guitar during college, he was always more into sports, he was a big lacrosse player. He was on this whole other path and I was on this theatre path, so it\u2019s odd that we\u2019re doing so much together now, because growing up we were into totally different things.<\/p>\n
Why did you decide to study Experimental Theatre at NYU?<\/strong><\/p>\nWell I\u2019d always done classical training and musical theatre, I studied in the UK at RADA for a little, and I\u2019d always done a lot of training, so I switched schools at NYU and moved into experimental theatre, which is all about finding your own voice rather than there being a right or wrong way of doing things. But there\u2019s a lot of voice work, the assignments are like \u201csing a dream\u201d. It\u2019s all about finding what your own voice sounds like when there are no rules put upon it. I suppose all these different parts of training came together, because I’d always written poems, so then I brought singing into the equation.<\/p>\n
