Winter improv and writing
New Improv & Nature offerings...
HELLO
I’m Katy Schutte. I write, improvise, perform and teach public and corporate workshops.
Pattern by my fave @sincerelylouise
NEWS AND STUFF
After knitting a walrus, I popped in to see the Victorian overstuffed walrus at the Horniman Museum & Gardens. What a Sunday treat!
I’m writing an essay on portals in the landscape for my MA in Folklore this week and starting in on meetings for dreamy 2024 projects. January is a quieter one for me, so I’m taking some Welsh and Spanish classes!
The Mythic Improv Journey is SOLD OUT, but do add your name to the waiting list if you’re interested as I could add a second stream if there’s a lot of demand. I’ve added more room options for the Improv and Nature Retreat in March, so take a look. Contact me if you’d like an instalment plan. The double with single occupancy can be altered for one plus a non-improv partner or made into a twin for two participants.
The next Write Your Solo Show course is in April, but it always sells out, so get in there!

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.
TREAT
Here is a link to the episodes 1 & 2 of the web series Sideliners I made with Edmund Fargher (and a huge, talented, cast and crew). Spot your improviser friends!
