Winter improv and writing
New improv weekend class.
HELLO
I’m Katy Schutte. I write, improvise, perform and teach public and corporate workshops. I’m a folklorist in training and a witchy druid on the side.

NEWS AND STUFF
I popped to Mallorca for five days with my partner and did some great hikes, ate all the cake and tested my minimal Spanish.
I’ve knitted a kelpie, coached some improv teams, led a long form class and some 1:1s, taken Welsh and Spanish intensives and started work on my next Folklore assignment. I’d love your help with my survey about ghosts and ghost hunting! Please click through and fill it in.
My Write Your Solo Show course is SOLD OUT, but do add your name to the waiting list if you’re interested. There are three offsite tickets left for the Improv and Nature Retreat in March and a bed in a shared room has come up. Get in touch if you’re interested in the latter or if you’d like an instalment plan.
I’ve become part of the Arvon teaching team and I’ll let you know when my next writing workshop with them becomes available. Dreamy! #lifegoals

Brand New Musical!
Omnibus Theatre, London:
Tonight! Friday 23rd February, Brand New Musical
Hoopla, London:
Friday 8th March, Schutte n’ Stars
There’s no reason to announce this yet, apart from that I’m super excited about it! I’m directing a musical improv show for Hoopla called Man Band which is about a grown up-boy band. It will be excellent. Keep a look out for the shows in May and June…
My play at Omnibus Theatre inspired by my Arctic residency will be on for three weeks in September-October and I’ll be letting you know more about that in the next few months.
If you're interested in improv coaching, want help with a written show, or you'd like to join the waiting list for sold out courses, pop me an email at [email protected]
CORPORATE
I’m working on a new offering called Nature’s Playbook offering Corporate Rewilding and biomimicry for cultural change. It uses a lot of improv and borrows wisdom from nature. Alex Menhams, Belina Raffy and I are looking for a testing ground, so get in touch if it’s something your company might benefit from.
