The Creative Performing Duo
Lizette Guy
aka Dr. K
Lizette started performing at the age of 6 in a Hollywood movie, “So This Is Paris,” She spent the rest of her childhood acting out movies in her backyard and most of her adult life creating incredible drama in her real life relationships. It was not until she discovered clowning that she found a place to play out her dramatic intensity. “The more honest I am about myself and show the audience, the more they laugh. The fool’ is the unmasked human.” Her French Canadian background has been influential in creating her strong zany clown character.
When Lizette is not performing or creating material for shows she is a teacher, a former psychotherapist and creative play facilitator. “My inspiration comes in the midst of collaborating with others in the spirit of play.” She teaches clown character development for adults and facilitates laughter workshops. Lizette has had to give up her private psychotherapy practice because of a thriving performing career as a clown. Along with Lizette’s creativity in theater, she is an avid expressive arts photographer and facilitates Conflict Resolution Workshops in jails and prisons.
I know deep in my heart that I am a success when a four year old child comes up after the show, shakes my hand and says, “You’re funny!”
