Years of Renaissance Faires and Events

From a large Renaissance Festival to a small birthday party and everything in between, Leonardo da Vinci can bring a unique blend of entertainment and education to your event.

You might be wondering what I actually do as Leonardo. Well, a little bit of everything. In the character of Leonardo, I may make a fun drawing of a person or inspired by a person’s ideas. I may solicit help from a group of people to create fun poses for a noble’s commission. I may play a song on my Lute or recorder, share some fascinating mathematical puzzles/games, or simply talk and answer questions about Leonardo himself.

The content of what he brings to your event or classroom can swing more towards entertainment or education, depending on what your needs are.

Leonardo da Vinci has always been such an interesting and inspiring person to me. I have loved bringing him to life and seeing how others respond to him in person.

In order to bring the most fun and educational experiences that I can, I draw on all my experiences and training, including as a music teacher, artist, stand-up comedian, group improviser, sketch comedy writer and performer, ventriloquist, juggler and magician.

While I am not a master of all these things, they each provide depth and breadth to Leonardo’s interactions – a little magic trick where it wasn’t expected, a drawing that is better than someone might have expected, an improvised song, etc.

Every event and person I meet is new and exciting and I always look forward to what unique interactions I will have next. Will it be with your group?
