"It gives me great pleasure to recommend Clint Bolster to you. I have known Clint for 14 years and observed his work as a professional practitioner and a tutor at QUT. As a practitioner, Clint is one of the most versatile, gifted and skilled performers in Commedia, Clown, Mask and Physical Comedy. His experience working and training overseas has much to do with this. Clint's expertise is at a very high level, and from the first time I saw him perform and witnessed how professional his outlook was, I encouraged him to seek overseas experience. Through his theatre company Homunculus, Clint has invigorated the Australian Theatre Community with his unique brand of comedy. Clint has been tutoring in my Performing Skills Unit at QUT for the past six years, and the students have found him to be one of the best tutors they have ever experienced. This is attested in his high-ranked teaching evaluations and written comments. He is a highly dedicated and professional teacher who brings industry knowledge to the students. Not all practitioners can teach: Clint is an exception to this rule! "

"It is a delight to watch Clint work with students, and the artful way he has of drawing them out of their comfort zones to have fun and learn much about the characters, and themselves is extraordinary. The genuine love of his art form, manner, depth of knowledge and experience is evident and provides the surety and confidence teachers need when organising guest artists. I have had the privilege of watching Clint work with adults and high school students in different workshop settings, and with the expertise, care and respect; he shows them all, he is consistently excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending Clint and Homunculus to anyone looking for this expertise."
