We are Pucqui.
Permanent Ensemble
Robin Ian HallSmith
(Originator /Co-Artistic Director)
grew up barefoot at the end of a long dirt road in the Ozark Mountains, with no phone or electricity. This explains... so much. He since relocated to Seattle, where he received a degree for pretending not to be shy. He currently lives in London, working on a second shyness-related degree. He is still barefoot more often than not.
Carl Bentley (Producer/Stage Manager)
Born and raised in “South Detroit,” Carl escaped his life as a security guard and
finally answered the call of the stage. After successfully redefining the term super senior, he traded his wheels in for a plane ticket to London and enrolled at East 15. Almost two years later, he is delighted to be graduating with an MFA and joining Pucqui.
Nicole Palomba (Originator /Co-Artistic Director)
was born in the mountains of Wyoming. She has been an explorer from the beginning of all realms physical, emotional, and creative which brought her to Los Angeles for her first performance degree, and then around the world landing in London. Nicole is currently an MFA graduate, novice harmonica player, and aspiring van-life gypsy.
