I am an improvisor who performs, teaches, coaches, and studies improv. I go to Improv Camp with improvisers throughout the US.  I regularly travel to the improv meccas of Chicago and NYC for practice intensives with master teachers.

Even during the strange times of COVID quarantines, I used Zoom extensively, as a window to the improv world. My world broadened working with a range of improv styles and master teachers in other countries.  I now enjoy traveling to attend classes and perform in various settings around the world.

In short, I love improv.

I’ve been a teacher of one sort or another for most of my life. Before I discovered improv and began teaching it, I spent 20+ years as a social worker helping people reduce their pain. As an improv teacher and player, I want to spend the next 20+ years helping people increase their joy.

Improv makes me feel good. I’ve seen how it’s changed my approach to life and how it continues to change others in a positive direction. I’m not sure exactly how all this happens. For me, it’s part of allowing myself be immersed in a creatively affirming process with other people. Improv lets me connect and ‘play’ with others as we create imaginary worlds. Improv is a unique social opportunity. Meeting people from different walks of life widens my horizons. It keeps me culturally current beyond my generation. Improv makes me ageless.
