FV 124 INTERVIEW: (Part 1) Drama company The French Loop with Natacha
Buy Full Notes
Natacha is a young Frenchwoman qui “a la patate” and a contagious passion for improvised play. She’s the founder, coach, and one of the improvisers / actresses of The French Loop, a theatre company based in Melbourne. (If you also live in the area and would love to practice your French and have a go, Natacha welcomes non native speakers too, hint hint!).
In this first episode, we’re discussing how Natacha pivoted to deal with the Covid-crisis, at a time when her classes could not operate normally and people needed entertainment. We’ll also talk about her background and the history of the art of improvisation (which I was surprised to hear was very popular in Australia)!
