I am an actor from Poland who does improvised theatre. I used to be more of a classical actor but when I came across improv , which is basically theatrical rock and roll, I got completely hooked and never looked back. Together with my group we perform one-hour improvised plays where nothing is prepared and everything happens on the stage spontaneously. I also do a lot of improv workshops where I teach it to kids and teenagers.

None yet but will have some soon!

Interests

Acting, improv and theatre - these are definitely the biggest ones.
But following closely is music - I've started learning to play piano couple of years ago. I also love dancing - used to do ballroom dancing and now I learn salsa. And mountains where I always go to find peace and solitude and a little bit of danger...

Music, Movies, and Books

Huge Nine Inch Nails and Tori Amos fan. I also love Christopher O'Riley, he writes beautiful piano rendititions of Radiohead songs, thanks to him I also got to know Elliot Smith. I listen to a lot of rock music, various kinds, but also blues and jazz and everything that is good. Recent discoveries: Sigur Ros - amazing! Films - that would be David Lynch, fell in love in his weird, dreamy movies when I was 13 and he's still a great inspiration.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to live in London where I attended theatre school. That was couple of years back. At that time I fell in love with a girl in Poland and even though I wasn't in Poland too often at that time we somehow hit it off. Valentines Day was coming up and I wanted to see her a lot but had no money to make the trip. So I decided to hitchhike from London to Poland. It was winter, the distance was 1500km and I had 1,5 days to make the trip. And somehow thanks to many great people I met along the way I made the trip in 30 hours. And didn't freeze to death along the way :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm doing a lot of improvised theatre and I'd be happy to teach some improv which is basically a lot of fun but with benefits of becoming more spontaneous and creative.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Free, private improv shows every night! And fantastic cooking, apologies for not being modest about this but it's true - I cook pretty awesome :)
