Suggestion from the audience

Chaos

Improviser, improv teacher and comedian. Ten years of making strong decisions on stage before there is a reason for them.

Workshops Akademia Improwizacji Wrocław · since 2016

First scene — who walks in

Strong
decisions,
no safety net

I have been improvising since 2016 and teaching since 2019. Long-form, full-length shows with no script — and workshops where the point is not to be clever, but to commit. My school is Mick Napier's Annoyance: bold choices, controlled chaos, characters with an edge, courage over hedging.

Take care of yourself, so you can take care of the scene

Mick Napier's Annoyance is the spine of everything I do — on stage and in the room. Chaos is fine. Chaos without control is just noise.
