I believe that the only thing more important than all the efforts of improv teachers and institutions, could be in the documentation of the practice.  Recording shows, interviewing teachers, debriefing after shows ... it is an overlooked value in improv.

Holly Bartolo runs the Phoenix Remix, a fantastic resource for improv documentation, information and trends.  I highly regard the cannon of her work. You can check out the Phoenix Remix here:  https://thephoenixremix.com 

I am so honored to have shared the space with Holly to find out more about her experience and history in improv.

Part 2 of my interview with Timothy Killilea

I finally get to meet Timothy Killilea. I find his comments on the Improv Boost insightful and building. I really admire Timothy a lot.   You can find out more about Timothy by following the pig.  Did I say "pig?"  Yes.  The Providence Improv Guild: www.improvpig.com

He is such a creative and inspiring human being.

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!

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.
