FIND YOUR PEOPLE

@CONNECT

Noah was hired by Tyler Hanson of Kulturehaus (www.kulturehaus.com) to work with Connect (www.connect.com) as an Experiential Marketing Co-Designer And Entertainment Director for BizZ AnimalZ Talent and Show Creator featuring local virtuosic talent for connect's sponsorship parties at Dublin Web Summit '14.
JOB~~ To Co-Write Brand Specific Interactive Material for Web Summit Activations, and be Entertainment Director and Lead Performer with the Local Talent.

The mission was to have Connect stand out amongst 20,000 present at the conference and create a buzzZ for their company that illustrated their brand and core belief system. To be a magnet and create a brand specific phenomenon around the company.

Noah and Tyler co-wrote four separate evolving "Street / Conference Activations" with an overall storyline (One for each day of the conference). He curated and acted as Lead Improv Performer, directing on the fly with each interaction and steering the talent (and occasionally the scene) toward the best work true to the company's north star.

Connect was chosen to host the official START Party for Web Summit 2014. It was called Cirque du Connect and ran from 7pm - 3am. Working with Kulturehaus.com, Noah co-wrote, co-curated, and performed with the talent for the evening, in addition to providing the soundtrack from 7-12 and NADA DJing a set from 12-1:30am.

At Connect's Party, He provided soundtrack in between the select entertainment acts he booked and coached guest celebrity, Gary Turk (Look Up) on his first time ever doing the speech live with the video tailored behind him.

The Interactive improv EXPERIENTIAL MARKETING process is very unique as it allows for "real time directing" and allows the material to grow quickly to it's best potential by Listening to what works and what doesn't right away and playing to the vibe of each new location and crowd dynamic changes. As a performer within it as well as director, I can cause interruptions that induce the notes that are required of the scene's moment.
soOoo FUN

~BANGLADESH~ROHINGYA REFUGEE CAMPS~April 2015
With ACF and UNHCR
nOah was chosen to work with Sweden's Clowns Without Borders team to go to Bangladesh and work directly with the Rohingya People living in Refugee Camps. When they arrived however, their plans were thwarted due to political complications by the authorities. Turning lemons into lemonade, the four clowns / teachers did what they do best... they improvised...and taught teacher trainings to the leaders working directly with the youth in the camps. They shared their favorite therapeutic games, confidence and community building exercises, and taught them how to make circus equipment from local recycled materials. The multi-organization youth ambassadors learned how to teach the basics with the new equipment and were walked through "game" progressions that help bring people out of "survival" mode into "thrive" mode through joy and play. When the clowns left, there were definitive plans set in motion for new programs to be offered to the youth and a dozen new excited, inspired facilitators.

~~WITH CLOWNS WITHOUT BORDERS USA AND PAYASOS SIN FRONTERAS (Clowns Without Borders Brazil)~~

~EL SALVADOR NOV 2017
nOah Co-Designed / Co-Taught games and theory "clown" workshops to other healing interested performing artists and to communities severely affected by poverty, gang violence and trauma from persecution, working especially near the border of Honduras. It was INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL! To children, We taught how to make circus toys out of recycled materials and a few basics to get started, often ending in them doing a small show for their neighborhood. We travelled to small villages / schools daily to perform the ridiculous clown show we co-created for our landing in their land. It is one of the richest memories and I cherish the time I was so lucky to spend there.

~INDIA APRIL 2016
nOah co-created and performed daily shows in areas severely affected by poverty and co-designed and taught daily workshops for children and adolescents 6- 18.

Resilience Through Laughter

Clowns Without Borders USA and Clowns Without Borders - Brazil are partnering in El Salvador. This project is in collaborations with local organizers, The Ministry of Health Psychosocial Support Programming and ADES (Cabañas region) to share smile and joy with the affected communities. This will be a continuation of programming from our El Salvador trip [...]




And though the shows are a great gift, the real treasure was in the playtime with the children afterwards.

**nOah has been Directing actors since 1994, and circus performers since 2000. Co-Creating and Co-Directing original material, bringing out and weaving other people's genius is his greatest passion. Below is a quick glimpse into different genres of his recent "full length stage" directing work.

J.A.W.Z. The Musical in 3D
Ensemble Created
Directed by Noah VeiL and Jason Wells
Produced by Jason Wells


An all-original, multi-dimensional, sing-a-long-able, live musical-comedy which, though it follows the basic Peter Benchley story to satisfy die-hard fans, takes many unexpected twists and turns for a unique, hysterical, and absurd experience of this legendary shark tale.

Featuring Woodie Allen as The Shark, Rob Sams as The Everyman, Noah Veil as The Nerd, Richard Cawley as the Pirate, Andy ShapirBro as Steven Schpeilberg,
Teresa Boyd as Celyne Dion, Martina Oskarsson as The Wife, Aspen Walker as The Mayor, Laura Sams as The Little Mermaid, and Stacey Daisy as "Duuuh-Dum"


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~ THEATRICAL CIRCUS SHOWS ~
**nOah's approach to directing and co-creating theatrical circus is in pulling out the cast's individual dynamic skill sets, translating these "tricks" to humanity's metaphors, and then co-creating and shaping the unique characters that would best convey these metaphors to create a magical realism through a virtuosic physical language. The skills and physical risk that each show encompasses demands intense training and complete complicity of the group. The challenge of blending such dynamic circus and stylized theater is it requires a unique rigorous rehearsal process rich with character and complicity building exercises in addition to rehearsing the show's choreography, "tricks" and developing it's emotional through line. The process is the glimmer of the jewel the public sees as end product, and I am deeply honored to work with such magnificent artists of the soul.**
