Improvising in foreign languages is a challenge. Let's tame this beast. What to do when we don't understand what's happening? How to turn linguistic problems to our advantage? How not to lose flow when we lose words? How to create a safety net in case of absolute confusion? We will also take a look at some multilinguistic shows.

How the world of improv adapted to the new reality, what we lost, what we gained and how the only international improv festival in a pandemic looked like - I mean the Hunger Games.

I picked 9 improv rules and deconstructed them brutally for you. I added a "but" to each of them, so we don't take them too literally. Let me know what would you pick to kreatura@gmail.com or rozalska.com.

How did improv community look like before the Internet? When did international festivals start? Why should every improviser go to therapy? How to deal with a bad show? What is REALLY improv like in Chicago these days? This and more you can find in this episode recorded with Joe Bill during IMPRO Amsterdam 2020, right before it all went down.

There is no film and theatre without makeup, yet we underestimate this power of expression in improvised theatre. The whole styling is a massive tool that can take both actors and the audience on a journey to different worlds. How can we use it to serve our artistic purpose, and to make our stage persona shine? Let me know what were the best styled shows you've seen and how do you use stage makeup to kreatura.podcast@gmail.com!

If you're tired of the situation around us, the stress, checking the news ten times a day, find a moment to chill and let me invite you on a little journey to my carefree memories from travels to different parts of the world. Do people in Seattle really wanna know how are you? What is the Moon doing upside down? Why the word "molo" makes Finns giggle, ad what behaviours make "one Italian grandma die"?
