“A professional all-round support system.”
‘I found Paul Stones’ recent help with my first one woman show, Luna’s History of Madness, very useful. He has the ability to offer creative suggestions without imposing his views, allowing the final word to remain with the writer/performer. He makes himself available as often as he is able, is unpretentious in his manner, and very humble considering the range of talents and experience he possesses in the field of directing, performing and teaching. I called him my ‘personal trainer’, as he basically helped keep me on track with encouragement, some practical advice, and general moral support.
I found the idea of doing a one woman show, as a single woman with no support at home, quite daunting – Paul filled that gap of feeling there was someone there, quietly involved as much or as little as I needed, knowing when to come forward and when to back off with the intuition of a dancer. I’ve incorporated many of his performance warm-up techniques into my own practice as performer, facilitator and director: his articulation sheet, in particular, has been copied and praised more times than I care to mention.
He doesn’t do angry, and is as cool as it gets, offering a professional all-round support system.’
