@RussSharek All of the above, mostly musical, studied in school etc. I also do some research on improvisation during incident response.

Is your improv interest musical, theatrical, or both?

I did a bit of digging and I'm pretty sure both are true. :)

@RussSharek I believe we are on the same music-people-to-follow list that I just loaded... or someone boosted you? All the same I see you're into improvisation, as am I, so it is nice to meet you here.

Definitely!
Speaking of which, how did you stumble on me?

@RussSharek Intuition is wonderful like that, seeing what others don't and learning to spread expertise is what I do in my daily job in Resilience Engineering. My schooling and practice of improvisation and Deep Listening informs everything I do in my job in Tech. I give talks on the nature of improvisation, I studied to be an opera singer, and the first time I recognized the love of performing in myself is when my parents sent me to Clowning Camp one summer, and I remember it well.

It's an amazingly useful set of skills for thinking on your feet while remaining connected with others.
I generally don't do a lot improv games for their own sake outside the lab, but we're constantly improvising as clowns.
As for musical improv...just, wow. It always seems like a magic trick to me when it works. :)

That's wonderful.
I didn't discover clown until later in life, which, likely lead to some overcompensation that now defines my existence. :)
BTW, which camp?

@RussSharek I gave this one in March. One drawback of the video is that my speaker mic doesn't capture the audience participation bit, but you will get the idea:

Are any of your talks recorded? Would enjoy seeing what you have to say.

I've bookmarked this for the weekend. Thanks!
Being able to hear the audience was part of sound design for a few video projects I've worked on, and it definitely makes a difference. I am convinced that it was part of what made our vaudeville show, Open Stage, work on camera.
