Hello, it’s me; your multi-award-winning writer-friend who's a global improv teacher and performer.
NEWS AND STUFF
I just came back from performing, teaching and coaching a lot in Vienna. It’s an amazing city with very talented improvisers. I’m back in London, getting my dog used to improv rehearsals.
I’m working with Omnibus Theatre on my show inspired by a residency in the Arctic Circle last year. I’m thrilled to have a dramaturg, producer, director and entire group of pros to make the show awesome. It’ll be on next year.
I’m studying Druidry right now and LOVING it. If this piques your interest, take a look at the Mythic Improv Retreat below. I’ve been teaching Mythic Improv for three years now and this is the first real-life event!
