During the last 16-18 years that I have been continuing to develop, teach , and practice One-Thought-One-Action (OTOA) as a performance technique, along the way it became clear to me that the same OTOA-principles that bring clarity and enrichment to the staged event are equally as meaningful when applied to individual growth.

By applying these same principles that I was teaching in OTOA Performance Technique & Training, and using the same skills necessary to prepare the dramaturgy and direction of a theater project, to to the daily practice in my own life, I discovered personal, professional, and creative benefits with wide ranging results.  

Essentially, what I was doing was creating my life as if it were any other art, theater, or creative project. And it was through studying my own process, that I saw the benefits of how I could bring the tools used in all creative goals, and the principles of OTOA's incremental thought and action into a wider range of application that would benefit both artists and NON-artists alike.

It was with this intention that I developed the curriculum of OTOA Creative Life Practice (CLP).

What OTOA Creative Life Practice offers is an approach for untangling professional, personal or creative roadblocks. It offers a set of tools and principles for clarifying goals & objectives while also creating the practice of your . OTOA CLP expands our vision & our realms of possibility. It’s a fundamental support system designed to chart a more unified and fulfilling path forward in every field and for any endeavor
