WORKSHOPS, RETREATS, SHOWS, AND MORE
LET YOURSELF BE VULNERABLE: PHiladelphia, PA (January 26, 2026)
Perfection, strength, and impermeability are great, but those qualities aren't necessarily relatable... or funny. This workshop is all about allowing ourselves to be more vulnerable and human as we improvise. Exercises will focus on accessing character wants, weaknesses, and emotional core. By tapping into honest, open-hearted, scene-work, participants will walk away with a more vital and satisfying style of play.

Improv and Yoga RetreatS
After six wonderful years co-hosting groups in Nosara, Costa Rica, Emily Shapiro and I held our most recent Improv and Yoga Retreat in Ericeira, Portugal! Participants enjoyed daily improv and yoga sessions, delicious family-style meals, serene gardens, beachside hangs, game nights, clifftop mountain-biking and an excursion to Sintra.
We’re currently working on our next retreat, so please check back for more info. If you’re interested in getting the details once they’re ready, please contact me.
