Fen has spent much of their time in the last 30 years intensely studying design, performance, the circus arts and a myriad of self-care and meditation techniques. These studies led them to what are now collectively called the Flow Arts, and specifically into the study of the Flow State, also commonly known as “being in the zone”. Their approach to flow is a unique patchwork of multiple disciplines, and as such is cross applicable to literally any field of study, management effort, or act of creation that one might engage in. One of their prime purposes in life has become the sharing of their experience with those who can benefit from adding some intentional flow into their lives.
Currently managing the theatre costume shop at WKU, Fen is a trained craftsman, musician, and dancer with decades of experience. Over the years they have directed plays, acted on stage, designed shows, built puppets, managed internationally known costume studios, washed uncountable piles of performer’s laundry, and learned how to change an actor’s clothes from one 3 piece suit into another in 30 seconds. A longtime circus enthusiast, Fen first learned to juggle 35 years ago, and has been a poi spinner for 2 decades. They are genuinely excited to share with others the techniques and tricks they have learned over the years.
