Bobbi Block: Improv Instructor, Performer & Facilitator | Episode 064

For episode 064 of Actorcast, I am joined by my good friend, Bobbi Block! I had the opportunity to work with Bobbi on a show called Playing Favorites a handful of years ago, and it was such a learnable experience for me as an actor. In this episode we discuss how Bobbi got into improvisation, and how she went on to develop her method of "Actors Improv." We discuss a variety of forms of improv, how it can help actors with their scripted work, and how improv has the ability to help those outside of the industry as well.
