Ivica Marc

  • DIRECTOR

For Croatian born actor, director, and teacher Ivica Marc, art has always been the center of everything. As a dancer and choreography, Ivica learned to collaborate and create from scratch. Teaching gave a different perspective of working and collaborating with other, looking from the outside and giving direction. When an opportunity to direct presented itself, it was like putting it all together, full circle.
