Robert Augustine

Robert "Bobcat" Augustine is a devised theatre maker who has spent the last few years doing some Experimental Living. After graduating from Portland State University and going through the year long training at the Institute of Contemporary Performance by Portland Experimental Theatre Ensemble, where he devised two full length productions. There he went through extensive training in devised performance creation, The Viewpoints, Suzuki Method, and Clown. His work explores removing the boundary between performance and reality. Following his time there he went on to live in a camper and travel the United States sharing clown and theatre in untraditional spaces. He worked for a camp in Nevada City, CA where he built story experiences for the kids that attended. Theatre in the woods? Lots and lots of generators! Soon after found himself living and working with a group of students at Phare Ponleu Selpak, a circus school in Battambang Provence of Cambodia. There he translated the Viewpoints into Khmer, the native language of Cambodia, and worked with a group of ten theatre students in Ensemble Based Practices and Devised theatre. He has also trained with South Coast Repertory Theatre, Del'Arte International, The Red Bastard, and The Actor's Gang. Now I am looking to plug into Los Angeles and get an ensemble going to make a new show!
