David is Curious

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)
• Chat

Part 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.

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. Follow her on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KatKennyImprov
