Joan in the words of her friends
She was a mirror and confidante. One of the greatest things I learned from her is to be present for your life – and to embrace all the gnarliness of your humanity.
Janessa Johnsrude, friend, Dell’Arte teacher, Blue Lake CA
I loved Joan dearly and admired her status in the world of theatre education, but more; the grace and humility with which she navigated that role.
Swami Newmi Newman, Ubud, Bali
I was riveted by her dynamic and commanding performances.
