hi

i love improv. it's my favorite thing to do! i'd love to coach you.

as a coach i would really just want to give your group as much space as possible to do your thing and give you concise, constructive feedback. i've been in hundreds of classes and practices where i've felt like i'm not getting enough reps, so my promise as a coach is to make sure you feel you've gotten to do enough actual scenework for your time and money spent.

the thing i care most about in improv is a strong base reality. and whether or not you're aiming to play towards game, i value justification and pov very highly. i also will push you towards specificity.

i have taken The Trial and Living Room ASPs at UCB as well as a handful of ASH's and ASI's. i've also studied at BCC. i recently became a drop-in/workshop teacher at a new improv school in NJ and love teaching. i also have a show at BCC called time hop that i'm very proud to do. i'm familiar with the harold, monoscene, spokane, slacker, evente and soundtrack forms.

i will keep my rate low and reasonable and work with you if that is a concern for your group.
