“[Colum’s] strong presence made him very quickly an enormously important fix point within the group, since he is able to link great calmness, openness and a good sense of humor with an absolute professional attitude, total dedication to whatever he does and to others. He is not only a mature performer, but also a wonderfully inspiring teacher and guide. He is a very good team player and has excellent qualities to initiate, execute and reflect creative processes. I can only highly recommend him for teaching positions.”
“During the rehearsal period, Colum has proven to be of tremendous help… and this is where one of his finest qualities shines through - his ability to solve problems. He is innovative, versatile, generous and supportive and has often afforded me a sigh of relief after having found a solution for a seeming unresolvable conundrum.”
“His proficiency in using Commedia dell'Arte masks and his ability to engage in singing and dancing were particularly noteworthy. (...)

“His proficiency in using Commedia dell'Arte masks and his ability to engage in singing and dancing were particularly noteworthy. (...) His generosity in relating to his peers and the young students participating in the International Stage allowed Mr. Colum to play a central role in the creation of the [Commedia] Scenarios, which were later presented on tour in France and Veneto. Therefore, Mr. Colum is fully qualified to participate in the research, practice, and dissemination of the Art of Commedia both nationally and internationally.”

Professor Colum has an huge knowledge about what he is teaching. He was always available to answer questions and assist the students.
He keeps the subject very attractive to keep the students' attention. It was my only class at CCNY, and I feel so grateful to have this incredible experience and learning.
We learned techniques and strategies for creating and acting out a character, learned how to care for the body and posture, and learned a
bit of history on the different techniques we learned throughout the class
This was one of my favorite classes. The professor did an amazing job at teaching this course. I learned about laban dance and the 8
aspects of it (shape, space, and more) I leraned about mime and the steps to implement it. It is more about the body movement. Also, I
learned about the different ways of bodu movements and ways of speaking (punch, direct, indirect, fast, slow, etc).
I apreciate the passion and enthusiasm of the teacher while teching, as it made me be more interested in theatre. I love the fact that this
was a great class to express my self and get out of my comfort zone. I recommend this class 10/10.
It’s hard to say something to improve because the Professor Colum was able to cover everything in the syllabus and expand on other
matters too. I would love to have more time working with the Laban technique.
I appreciated most the amount of information I learned. I’m not an actor, but if I were, I would feel like this class taught me such important
skills to take my acting to the next level. I also really appreciated the way the information was given, though it was a lot, it never became
overwhelming!
I wanted to say I throughly enjoyed the class and I felt I learnt so much from Colum. He was such a positive and encouraging teacher and he made it feel like such a safe environment for me to explore a new technique and not worry about making any mistakes or getting things wrong.
Just a mail to tell how nice that was to learn with you .
You have a really amazing way to teach with energy some stories and the very strong technics.
Incredible! comme toujours! Thank you Colum. You're so talented at taking complex theatre theories and make them easy to understand and interpret and play with. it's so much fun to be in your class. I come out feeling like I've learnt so much physically and mentally and without taking notes or feeling heavily burdened with information. It

Pleeeeeeease keep doing workshops forever (haha :D)

"A little late but I'd like to chime in! This is a class I really looked forward to because I needed it. We worked extensively on voice/breath and I left the class confident that I could continue to practice those techniques. Colum always makes the lessons approachable and fun. I realized by watching my baby-who is learning to speak- that she instinctively is practicing almost all of the exercises we had done during class. It's fascinating! So, if I need a refresher, I might just watch how she babbles."
"Great. Colum provides a safe and trusting environments so that as an actor you can really explore your potential!"
“ Every class is enriching, I learn so many new things about theatre each time. ”
Professor Morgan is a very strong teacher. He is very enthusiastic about theatre, and in turn has made me also more enthusiastic about theatre. He is very knowledgeable of the topics he teaches and encourages class participation often during lectures. He makes everyone in the class feel welcome.
He is super knowledgable about all things theatre history and it was very cool to hear about his story. I also liked learning the history through performing.
I just wanted to comment to say I really love Colum Morgan's class. He really knows his stuff and was very
interesting to learn under. I've taken a lot of theatre classes with a lot of different teachers, and I would highly recommend the department keeps him
on the staff.
Professor Morgan was good at explaining theatre history. I learned a lot about history in general and the history of theatre.
