Although I've been improvising a long time, I tend to keep the areas of my improv fairly separate. I've felt this change a lot since the pandemic, moving online and moving house. Strangely, staying at home, has meant working more internationally.
Things have changed so much, I find myself doing such a wide variety of things now. I've said yes to things I previously never would have (online coaching and 1 to 1 coaching to name a couple). This has been a huge reminder to take a deep breath before instinctively answering 'that'll never work'.
These thoughts led me to thinking about the corporate improv work I do and I recently wrote this blog on the the subject for The Maydays:

Even in posting this here I notice how little I talk about that stuff here on my own website. Maybe that's a reminder to do that more. To try and paint outside the lines a little bit more and not feel the pressure to be different versions of myself in all the different things I do. I'm a big colourful blur of all the things and proud to be that way.
