Saying yes ('tak') - A short Poland tour

Remember this word: Tak. It means yes in Polish.

Yes is the most important word in improv, and the Polish improv stage is no different. And apparently, you can play entire scenes with that word.

Everything about my short Poland tour in this blog.

Ohana Improv Podcast 6 - Sue Walden

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.

Play, teach and play in Gothenburg

My first time in Sweden.

I played, taught, played and barely saw something of the city. It was perfect.

Training Majoretteketet - Improvise in dance

I loved my return to the Flemmish girls and guy of Majoretteketet. A 3,5 hour delay could not stop me.

They are a very unique group combining choreographed dances, improvised dance and fun, light street theatre. Last year I worked with them on the last 2: the elements where some improv skills are of use.

Improfestival Mainz - Grown-up kids & life-sized bananas

I <3 bananas! Even more than I already did.
Still filled with love and sunlight from a fan-tas-tic Improfestival Mainz where I taught and performed.

Here is a blog on how I found my inner child again. And some other great people too.

Performing & teaching in Germany - A big(ger) country

Apparently Germany is a bigger country than I thought. So while teaching abroad, I am also learning something useful :)

Here is a blog I wrote about my lovely trip to the Schmidt's Katzen in Hildesheim and FEM Fatale in Karlsruhe.

In Portugal yet again - About perfect strangers.

I just came back from a lovely time in Portugal, where I was teaching, performing, facilitating and thinking about... Strangers. And how that connects to improv. And my childhood.

Obrigada Cardume.
