Clarence Leonard
I live in L.A. and I graduated from Dell’Arte School of Physical Theater located in Blue Lake, California. I received a fellowship from the Kennedy Center to attend Dell’Arte. While at Dell’Arte I studied clown, melodrama, commedia dell’arte; in addition I studied Alexander Technique, t’ai chi, and acrobatics. Prior to Dell’Arte I went to Franklin Pierce College where I studied theater arts, dance, and financial managment. While at Franklin Pierce I had the chance to receive several grants from the Kennedy Center (either through my own work or through productions that I was involved in) and I attended the American College Dance Festival. In Los Angeles I have taken classes in acting for the camera, audition technique, cold reading, commercial acting and improv. In addition to working on numerous commercials, films, theater projects, and music videos I have worked with an Oscar nominated film director, platinum and multi-platinum artists including, Flyleaf and David Bisbal, and acclaimed photographer Mark Holthusen. As a dancer my experience ranges from teaching, dancing, and choreographing in many styles including hip-hop, modern, and jazz.
