My guest this time is Sue Walden from San Francisco (US): a force to be reckoned with in the area of improv for non-theatrical purposes, or: applied improv.
In this interview we talk about:
- how working with a partner has kick started her career;
- what obstacles she has overcome;
- what she did when she got ‘a little tiny bit bored’;
and much, much more.
In the 5th episode I spoke to Sarah Michaelson, a.k.a. DJ Mama Cutsworth, and we talk about:
– her role as a music improviser;
– how Speechless started (with a great anecdote from their first rehearsal);
– advice for other music improvisers;
– how she warms up (which is a little different);
and much, much more.
For the fourth episode of the Ohana Improv Podcast I spoke to Amir Atsmon, live from the streets of Tel Aviv in Israel. We talk about:
– what touring with a theatre project taught him;
– what the Israeli improv scene is like;
– how improv changed his life;
and much, much more.
For the third episode of the Ohana Improv Podcast I got the chance to pick the brain of Patti Stiles from Australia. We cover these topics:
– how she makes improv formats;
– why she prefers crunchy broccoli after soup, when it comes to improv;
– what her turning point in life was (of course it included Keith Johnstone);
and much, much more.
For the second episode of the Ohana Improv Podcast I had an interview with the charming Matt Schuurman, the new artistic director of Rapid Fire Theatre. We talk about:
– how he became the artistic director of Rapid Fire Theatre;
– how his work as a video designer influenced his improv;
– what his work with children has taught him;
and much, much more.
Recently I had the pleasure of interviewing Tim Orr from San Francisco. We cover different topics relating to his improv practice, including:
– how his warm-up for a show looks like;
– what the turning point in his career was;
– how his background as a basketball coach influenced him as a trainer;
and much, much more.
