Comments: Rob Torres got his start as a performer acting on Sesame Street when he was a kid. After clown college he got a gig with Clyde Beatty-Cole Brothers Circus and toured for three years before ever considering what possibilities might exist for him as a street performer and as a result he came at it with a much different set of tools than many do. Rob’s diversity of experience has allowed him to recognize the importance of character, of narrative and of relationship better than most as you’ll hear in this week’s episode.
