The performance of his first solo show, TIMEPIECE, received this review: "Perhaps a handful of times can a critic sit in a theatre and in the space of a mere hour see a performer change the entire course of an established art form, but that is precisely what happened when Daniel Stein opened the Dance Theater Workshops New Mime Series” - Barton Womble, New York Daily News). He has performed and taught master classes throughout the world at institutions such as The Juilliard School of Drama and The Shanghai Theatre Academy. Daniel is a John Simon Guggenheim Fellow and has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the United States/Japan Commission, the Pew Charitable Trust…Recent summers have seen him teaching in Sicily, The Danish National School for the Performing Arts, Copenhagen and in Seoul, South Korea.Prior to finding his artistic home at The University of California, Santa Barbara he spent seven years at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island as Head of Movement and Physical Theatre for their MFA Professional Actor Training Program.
