Explore what happens in your improv when you really deepen and strengthen your trust in:

There is a level of freedom and ease, an effortlessness that arises when we trust the wisdom of what happens without our trying so hard. We understand the practices of "following the follower," of listening and supporting other players, our partners in receiving and co-creating this shared reality. We step off from fear and find actual safety and comfort in being "in on" the uniquely-forming present unfolding on stage.

Ellen grew up with The Second City in Chicago, which was more Home to her than any apartment her family rented. For its first ground-breaking 25 years, her father was the club's iconic Music Director; her mother was Operations Manager for 40 years. Improv is in the marrow of Ellen's bones; it's in her DNA, which takes suggestions, adores collaboration and does not need a mic. Ellen trained at Second City primarily with Don DePollo and Martin De Maat, who called her very first improv showing on the Second City E.T.C. stage "So good it was scary." Ellen's work in performance (both improv and dance) has been seen in the US from coast to coast, in Europe and in South Africa.
