The year 1998, I thought a voice improv workshop was a good idea to overcome a personal issue of mine. Yes, it was a good start, thanks to a great teacher. I've had other (voice) improv as well as acting & filmmaking training since then, and I would say my approach has been particularly influenced by working with Jean-René Toussaint & his 'Voice Work: You can use the voice to support yourself & others.
My improvisation style should be inclusive & cultural sensitive.
What I've learned from my own improv teachers and horse therapy coaching: Any impulse, if treated gently, can be a starting point for improvisation. Building on that, I've tried to come up with my own approach that would help anyone, ashamed about their insecurities and anxieties. That's what I've been using over the last decade.
Inspired by different body awareness practices, together with a long path of personal therapies & mindfulness with horses, I use my own 'how to relax in tension' as a preparation for improv. Spoiler alert: it could be different for everyone.
Watch my SHORT?
