Raised on a sugar plantation on the island of Maui, George Kon went to school barefoot in Puunene's red dirt. He co-founded the Iowa Theatre Lab, an experimental theatre company in the middle of the Iowa cornfields. Returning to O'ahu via NYU's Experimental Theatre Wing to co-found the Alliance for Drama Education where he currently directs the low tech, high zest T-Shirt Theatre in rough neck inner city Kalihi. In an attempt to run a stream thru his life in 1989, George studied with master educator Elizabeth Reveley to get certified in massage and ended up adopting her mission and joining the talented staff at AIMHA, where he guides Level 1's hands on Swedish massage. At Farrington, George teaches a short course in seated massage for the state's first Health Academy. Since many high school students barely speak to their parents, let alone touch them, he takes great pleasure in assigning this subversive act of nurturing.
