final part of the Jack and Jorin episode. I LOVED recording this. They inspire me so much.
-
You know it's a good episode when I can't wait to listen to it! And I was there when it was recorded!
-
Episodes manquant?
-
Joring Garguilo and Jack Greenwood (both with initials J.G.) join me and we talk improv. We get so into the discussion (which is what I wanted) that we don't even get into the questions this episode! We chat about movies, intaking information and I get to know my guests a little better.

Liz Allen Improv Interview, Part 2! If you ever get the chance to take a class with Liz, or just chat with her she is so lovely. A kind spirit and human being.
-
Liz Allen is one of my favorite improv teachers of all time. And in my humble opinion, may go down as one of the most influential people in all of improv. I hold her in such high regard.
Liz was iO's Training Center Director for three years and they renamed their Teacher of the Year Award to the "Liz Allen Excellence in Teaching Award."

And be sure to catch her one-woman show "Tonight I am my Mother." It is fantastic.

Part 2 of my inteview with Oliver Senton.
-
Oliver Senton performed in "Shall We Shog?" in 2005 under the guidence of Ken Campbell. The show became whan Campbell called a thing. This lead to Senton's work in the School of Night. This work also lead to two other significant improv things: Showstoppers and the Improvathon.
Currently he is working alongside Lucy Trodd and developing the new Folkestone Improv Theatre.
I always love my chats with Oliver. He is brilliant and inspirational.

Debriefing after improv sets is one of my favorite things about improv.
Thank you again to Ange and Stu! I already want to do this again.
-
I was blessed with the presence of Ange Lanley and Stu Hughes. Both are improvisers from the North West of England, and some people I love improvising with. I give them space to identify themselves during the course of this episde. The format is:
We introduce ourselves. Do an improv set (not recorded) Chat Do an improv set (not recorded) ChatPart of my love of improv is just connecting with people. I am naturally curious about people - as individuals and as a collective.
Hope you enjoy it! -
The finaly part of my interview of Remy Bertrand of Imprology. I am so impressed with his curiousity.
-
Remy Bertrand joined me today on this podcast. Remy runs Imprology, an improv company in London. Remy also does these short videos on FB and TikTok where he talks about a virtue in improv. I have always liked his perspective on improv as it differs from most institutions. He focuses on the individual and their intersection with connection, communication and improv. He has fantastic insight on "being full of yourself", flow and more.
Enjoyed getting to know him in this event. This is Part 1 of 2.You can find out more about Imprology here: https://imprology.com/home

The final part of my episode with Kat Kenny. This has only made me more curious about her style and teaching. I have been a fan of her pedagogy for long time now, and this interview only further entrenches it.
Enjoy!

I am so happy I got the chance to talk to Kat. Enjoy.

Kat Kenny is one of those people who brighten my day every time I chat with them or see their posts. She is all about building others up and bringing joy to the world. To me, it is obvious. It is obvious because her actions show it. She is not someone who passes out bubble gum philosophy then create selfish motion. Kat Kenny has regard for others and takes action to make the world a better place.
The world needs more people like her.

Stu and I went for a walk and had some sandwiches by the River Dee in Chester. Loved chatting improv with him in this casual setting.
-
Stuart Hughes is on my team "The Spirit of Improv." I love his improv style of discovery and play. When he finds something that brings him joy he has such an effortless way of playing with it. He and I went for a walk in Chester and I got a chance to talk to him about improv. Enjoy!
You can also catch Stu on the Oickers, a short form improv team. -
THIS IS WHEN SHE MAKES HER ANNOUNCEMENT!!
-
Hellena Jang is inspirational by activity and by personality. She lifts the spirits of others around her. And she makes magic happen on a global scale (and on an individual scale). I am so impressed and amazed by Hellena.
She is the kind of person I would collaborate with WAY MORE if we lived closer to one another.
You can find out more about her on her website: www.hellenajang.comI like to connect with her on Facebook. https://www.hellenajang.com/improv
She has a team called ImFROG. And in this interview she announces another improv project that will ROCK. THIS. WORLD. So excited for her.
I am also extremely flattered that she chose this interview to officially announce it.

This is the final episod of my interview with Jorin - but not my final conversation with him. I feel like I have one of the most "improv perfect" relationships with him. I learn from him, I want to perform with him and yet I don't feel like there is a hierarch between us - there is a mutual cycle of respect.
I look forward to having more conversations with him. I encourage anyone who is passionate about improv to take a class from him or hire him as a coach. I am fantastically inspired by Jorin. -
... this may be one of the biggest moments where he blows my mind. Talking about how you don't go to see a group because they do improv (or a specific format) but because of the chemistry of the team. Their unique voice.
I still think about this moment.
We also talk about the value of imagination, from every single person. How it is a process. And how that process is valuable to the endproduct of the improv show. Not just their references, but an improviser's imagination is super valuable.
