Sarah Kinsella
Sarah is one Australia’s foremost teachers and performers of improvised theatre. For many years Sarah has been applying those skills for corporate events, and devising and leading workshops for organisational development and leadership programs with her company THE DECENT PEOPLE. Currently Sarah is touring schools teaching and performing improvisation, including the Roald Dahl inspired WITCHES GIANTS TWITS AND PEACHES and TDP’s new show HEROES & VILLAINS.
Sarah trained at Melbourne’s St. Martins, and has worked with pre-eminent improvisation companies in Australia, North America and Europe – most notably with the “guru” of improvisation, Keith Johnstone (the inventor of “THEATRESPORTS”), whose books “IMPRO” and “IMPRO FOR STORYTELLERS” on the subject are bibles for creatives.
