Robert

Performer • Director • Acting Coach

Hi, I'm Robert Twaddell, a theatre performer, director and educator based in the DFW area. ​Offstage, you'll find me scaling rock walls, playing folk music on my guitar, baking sourdough ​bread, hiking, contact juggling, or lost in an epic sci-fi novel. (Ubik, Dune, and Ender’s Game are ​some favorites.) My passion for theatre stems from my love for challenging social norms, and ​experiencing heightened relationships. I have no shame in how nerdy I am about playing pretend.

I firmly believe that if we want to grow, we must remain students all our life (a lesson I learned ​from my dad). I began my education with an Associate's Certificate from Kim Dawson ​Conservatory. While I learned so much from my time at KD, I wanted more. As of May 10th 2024, ​I will hold a BFA in Musical Theatre from the University of Texas at Arlington.

As a teacher, I empower students by building their confidence while developing their artistic skills. ​I believe it is important to maintain a healthy perspective and balance while training. My approach ​focuses on asking direct, intentional questions that lead performers to exciting, authentic, and ​vulnerable art. Through this process, I work to instill a sense of fun, pride, and respect for each ​project.
