Ladies n' Genmin please welcome to the GLT Clearing if you will, the BOOMING presence and natural raconteur that IS Jack Klaff!As a Actor, Jack Klaff has been described as being a "one man show" specialist.And indeed he was the first Actor I ever experienced doing just that, whilst I was doing my Drama Teacher Training at the "Central School of Screech & Trauma" (!) in London, circa 1980's before coming to Bristol to the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. I experienced him as being in his 'absolute element', commanding the stage with his BOOMING voice, versatility and strength of characterisation.A truly impressive stage presence indeed.Jack Klaff is a South African born Actor, Writer, Academic and fellow Bristol Old Vic Theatre School alumni.He is a complete natural. You'll notice it doesn't take much to get him on the 'open road' of letting his thinking unfold! And what a rich, textured and multi-layered conversation it is...(He is also a wonderful test for an interviewer, as he is, I experienced, quite difficult to interrupt when in full flow!)So - pull up a cup of coffee - or even better a glass of wine or two - and why not give it a good listening to? (See what I'm doing there?!)Enjoy!You can Watch/Listen to Jack's interview on Vimeo here:https://vimeo.com/473727198He has held professorships at Princeton University and Starlab. Amongst his early screen roles were in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977) as Red Four and For Your Eyes Only (1981) as Apostis.Hurrah!So - thanks for listening to another episode of a "GLT with me CG!"The Podcast series that features "The Clearing":  Where all good questions come to be asked and all good stories come to be told!With some lovely juicy storytelling metaphors to also enjoy along the way:The Clearing itself - A Tree (where we get to "shake your tree to see which storytelling apples fall out, in the form of a lovely storytelling exercise called "5-4-3-2-1") - some Alchemy - some Gold - and finally a Cake with a Cherry on Top!Think "Desert Island Discs" but in a Clearing! Also think about William Shakespeare - and about Jaques in "As You Like It" in particular:"All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players;They have their exits and their entrances,And one man in his time plays many parts,His acts being seven ages..."Jaques: Act II Scene VIIAnd as my Guest in the Podcast:  Now is your 'moment in the sunshine' to share your story!Who are you?
