We talk about his evolution as a performer and how the grind of cruise ships … Continue reading "The Moisture Festival Podcast – Etienne"

An award-winning global director of cirque, cinema and stage. As a comic act designer he specializes in clowns, characters and story components. Stefan is the author of The Power of HA!Connecting Through the Heart of Humor. He studied theatre in college only to realize that his true passion lay in the cross-over to the circus arts, so he set his sights on Cirque du Soleil. As a result of his intuitive gift for mining actors' true potential, various sit-coms hired him to coach actors, including The Roseanne Show. After self-producing a number of critically acclaimed plays in Hollywood and New York City (Call of the Wild, Midsummer Nite's Text, Your Town Follies, Moon Over Madness, Atomic Holiday Lift-Off) he traveled to Europe to juggle on the streets and study with the premiere master-teacher, Philippe Gaulier. This move resulted in a collaboration with Bill Irwin and David Shiner on the Tony- winning show Fool Moon. Haves was then poached by Cirque du Soleil, collaborating on clown and character performances within six touring and resident productions (Kooza, Iris, Amaluna, Banana Shpeel, Zaya, and Drawn to Life). Prior to that, he wrote and directed the world-class Teatro Zinzanni—a dinner/ cabaret featuring such luminaries as Joan Baez. Today, Stefan Haves is a trusted international thought-leader who was tapped to present a TedX Talk in New Delhi, India, and was invited to conduct personal appearances for blue-chip companies like PepsiCo, Infosys, Mindtree, and Barclays Bank. He gleefully shares his innovative message on the role of humor, creativity, and effective expression gleaned from the stage and applied to the corporate workplace. In 2021 Haves was granted the opportunity to co-direct Katy Perry's Playland-branded New Year's dinner/cirque event at Hilton's Resort World in Las Vegas. Earlier in his career, Haves cut his teeth as an actor and a visual-comedian who appeared on stages and television shows worldwide—even garnering $10,000 on America's Funniest People by performing his signature piece "Back-Man". Stefan's 2016 original conception of the spectacle Festigal, in which Haves was tasked to showcase famous pop celebrities from television's Romania's Got Talent, used a Cirque du Soleil aesthetic in a stadium setting. His cinematic offerings include the award-winning short film Punch Drunk, featuring Academy Award nominee Sally Kellerman (M*A*S*H) and full-length feature Stalled starring Doug Jones (Pan's Labyrinth).

From mastering his own craft to creating the longest running Cirque du Soleil big top show, this creative genius delves into his experience as a clown, and how his process of character building has shaped his career as a performer, teacher and director. With vulnerability at the core of his vision, David invites us to get lost into his world of passion, drama, and creation.

Stefan Haves is an accomplished entrepreneur, international bestselling author and an award-winning theatre and cirque director. He collaborated with clowns Bill Irwin and David Shiner on the Tony Award-winning Broadway show Fool Moon before being poached by CIRQUE DU SOLEIL as a comic act designer, casting partner and master teacher. For 40+ years, he's coached and directed thousands of world-class performers globally including Joan Baez, Doug Jones, and Val Kilmer. Most recently, Stefan crafted the Playland Experience in Las Vegas for Katy Perry's New Year's Event. Two of his amazing goals are to reinforce the curative nature of laughter and shatter the stigma of clowns.

Vamos a hacer un repaso por la carrera como músico del compositor americano Stephen Flaherty con su habitual colaboradora durante cerca de cuarenta años, la letrista y libretista Lynn Ahrens, autores entre otros de los musicales "RAGTIME", "ONCE ON THIS ISLAND" o "ANASTASIA". Stephen Flaherty a los doce años ya sabía qué quería ser de mayor, compositor de musicales. Se graduó a los veintidós años en el Conservatorio de Música de Cincinnati donde alternaba sus estudios con actuaciones en una banda en la que tocaba el piano ragtime que le sería de gran ayuda cuando compuso su musical más famoso. Marchó a New York para estudiar teatro musical y conoció a Lynn Ahrens, letrista con la que escribió su primer musical “LUCKY STIFF” que estrenaron en el off de Broadway en 1989, ganando el premio Richard Rodgers. A este le seguiría “ONCE ON THIS ISLAND” nominado a ocho premios Tony en 1990. "MY FAVORITE YEAR" en 1992 y "RAGTIME" en 1996 del que hablamos en el “Cuéntame un musical” de este mes. En el 2000 estrenaron "SEUSSICAL" en Broadway que se convirtió en uno de los musicales infantiles favoritos en colegios y en 2002 "A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE". En 2005 estrenaron "DESSA ROSE" y en 2007 "THE GLORIOUS ONES. Sus últimos musicales hasta la fecha son “ROCKY” estrenado en el 2012, “LITTLE DANCER” estrenado en 2014 y "ANASTASIA" estrenado en 2016 en una versión teatral ampliada de la versión para la película de animación por la que fueron nominados al Oscar a la mejor banda sonora y canción.

David Shriner-Cahn is the host of the Forbes and Inc Magazine-featured podcast - Smashing the Plateau. He is also the Founder and President of TEND Strategic Partners, a community he started in 2006 that is dedicated to entrepreneurs who seek like-minded individuals to form a solid support system. Following a long career as an employee, David began his career as a chemical engineer and later on transitioned into the nonprofit sector where he assumed leadership and management roles for many years. After taking the reins and running his own business, he came to a realization that there’s still so much for him to learn about how to be a successful entrepreneur. He also found out that being in that journey of establishing your own business and yourself can be quite lonely but it all changed when he started to gain knowledge and found a way to be around supportive co-entrepreneurs. David launched the podcast Smashing the Plateau in 2014 to serve as a platform for entrepreneurs who are striving for long-term success to share their stories, experiences and strategies. To date, the podcast has over hundreds of episodes and addresses a wide variety of topics and challenges faced everyday by entrepreneurs. And in 2019, he launched another podcast - Going Solo that’s dedicated to disseminating strategies shared by highly-skilled professionals to establish a business of their own, especially after experiencing a late career job loss. Learn more and connect with David Shiner-Cahn and Smashing the Plateau when you visit the following links:Website - https://smashingtheplateau.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidshrinercahn/To hear more of Scott Mason and the Purpose Highway™ podcast, join our community at https://purposehighway.com/ and subscribe to get notified when new episodes go live.
