Born in New York, Dan has worked as an award-winning actor, astrologer and ceremonial artist in New York, Japan, Hawaii, India, Egypt and Peru. His books, public speeches, ritual theatre and festival performances in the Americas, Europe, the Mideast and Asia have made him one of the world's most respected authorities on the mythology, astrology and medicine theatre of our awakening into galactic spiritual consciousness. He lived for 11 years in Kyoto, Japan. He was the first foreign actor ever to earn a "geimei" (art name) in the world of classical Japanese kyogen theatre. He was named one of People of the Year, for his achievements in cross-cultural theatre, when Kyoto celebrated its 1200th anniversary in 1994. He is also the first actor to play the beloved Sufi poet Jelal-ud-din Rumi on stage, and his play "An Evening with Rumi" has enchanted audiences in the USA, Egypt and Peru. Dan lived in Egypt 2004 - 2009, singing in the great ancient sacred sites along the Nile and in Sinai, and testing their acoustic and vibrational energies as sound resonating chambers designed to clear and enhance the health and awakening of their people. He has guided groups of spiritual adventurers to sing the actual ancient Egyptian ritual melodies in the holy places where they resonated long ago, and are returning to be heard again now. The Rain on the Nile aims to revive the ancient Egyptian ritual theatre cycle of the Isis and Osiris story. He is at work on Double Harmonies, about the sound science and sacred music of ancient Egypt; and From Hathor to Asklepius, about the birth of holistic medicine in the temple sites of Egypt, Turkey and Greece.
