Hi, I’m Trent.
I’ve been a director, teacher and performing artist around the world for three decades. In that time I’ve learnt a thing or two, but you never stop learning. That’s how you get good. I’m available for one-on-one chats online or in-person, because while being an artist is the best job in the world, sometimes it can get a little lonely. There's no map, no rules and it doesn’t come with a job description. We’re just making it up, so let me help you create your ideal creative lifestyle!
Trent H Baumann is an internationally award-winning performer, writer and director, a nominee for “Most Original Comedy” at the Edinburgh Fringe.
