Loopy studied mime with Bob Berky way back in the ancient '70's. More recently, he has studied at The Celebration Barn and at Motionfest, 2005 and 2006. Some of the energies he brings to his clowning come from martial arts, acting, guitar, flute - and canoeing. He has starred in community theater and as the detective in murder mystery dinner theater.
