A Bit More About Me

Jordan Woods-Robinson 16.jpg

ACTING BIO

As an actor, Jordan is best known for The Walking Dead, Homeland, Nashville, and as a Blue Man for 13 years. With a BFA with Honors from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, Jordan's physically-based theatrical training has led to chameleon-like performances opposite Anthony Hopkins, Colin Farrell, Clare Danes, Donald Sutherland, Andrew Lincoln, Connie Britton, Octavia Spencer, Michelle Dockery, Colin O'Donoghue, and more.

Jordan is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA.

COACHING BIO

As an Acting Coach, Jordan translates his theatrical training for Film and TV actors, empowering them to get into their bodies and out of their heads. He teaches tools from his NYU training, his Blue Man career, and his 15 years of Film and TV experience, as well as using human psychology and personal mindfulness as springboards into the work.

 

A firm believer of harnessing impulse as a tool, Jordan emplores his actors to trust their guts, to work on their feet, to bend rules, and, overall, to do what is right for them in this moment. In addition to some of his own acting tools such as "Conspiracy Theories" and "The Line," actors who work with Jordan explore techniques by Jerzy Grotowski, Laban, Viewpoints, Harold Guskin, Chekhov, and Stanislavski.

Jordan has helped actors book series regulars and leads, and everything else.

MUSICIAN BIO

As a musician, Jordan has played fiddle (primarily) professionally since he was 8 years old. Originally from East Tennessee, Jordan started his career at Dollywood and Dixie Stampede playing with some of the best bluegrass pickers in the south.

After moving to NYC for college, Jordan played with, composed for, and music directed with some of the city's best talent including Michael Cerveris, Elizabeth Swados, Theater Mitu, Kris Kukul, and many others.

Immediately out of college, Jordan booked his dream role of a Blue Man, combining music and physical storytelling as a primary means of communication. He played and composed for Blue Man Group for 13 years.

Jordan has released multiple albums playing fiddle, mandolin, guitar, some bass, and basic percussion.
