David Roe/Pip

Performing Group

Part Chaplin & Keaton, with a B-boy's fearlessness, the grace of Fred Astaire, & the storyteller's voice to top it all off--that's Pip! 

Pip is a suit-&-tie/hat-&-cane showman character evoking the vaudevillian era who can appear as a host character, &/or perform solo acts & audience interactive bits. Adaptable to the needs & themes of both adult & family events. 

Master Clown, Physical Actor, & Multi-disciplinary Dancer working in the Performing Arts since 1978, I bring decades of experience to live performance & teaching, from working with the Berkshire Ballet, New York dance companies, & Cirque du Soleil. 

Trained & toured internationally, drawing from Breakdance, Capoeira, Ballet & Modern Dance, Circus Arts, Acrobatics, Clowning, Theatre, & Performance Art, I have adapted characters for productions, & created my own solo performance work. 

My work has included appearing in full-scale circus productions, theatre productions, events entertainment, musical theatre, educational theatre for Pre-K to 5th grade (bi-lingual ENG/SP), Zoom shows, Burlesque shows, film, & video.
