Stage
I am an improviser, a member of the Applied Improvisation Network, and the artistic director of the Dramatheurgy Theater Company
​​
Most nights of the week, you can find me at RISE Comedy, rehearsing or performing with one of the following teams.
​​
Improvisation is also becoming an increasingly central part of my laboratory's research, through our research on improvisation-based robotics education, improvisation-based robot design, and improvisation-based social robotics theory.
Minor Adjustments
It's the Improvised Musical where we envision how YOUR life may have ended up with a few Minor Adjustments! Sit back and enjoy the show as our talented team of singers, actors, and musicians create an entirely new musical whose music, lyrics, and dancing are created on the spot based on your life stories.
​
Minor Adjustments is an Improvised Musical troupe based out of Denver, Colorado, where they lead the Let's Get Loud monthly musical comedy variety show, run the Musical JamShop musical improv workshop series, and perform regularly at local theaters. Minor Adjustments are five-time winners of the RISE Comedy Duel.

Black Mirror / Red Carpet (a Dramatheurgy Production)
You are cordially invited to the red carpet premiere of three new science fiction "episodes" that will be "screened" for the first — and last — time on the RISE stage.
From the team that brought you /Robot Riot: The Robot Comedy Hour/ (Dramatheurgy) comes a new one-night-only event, held in partnership with scholars from the Colorado School of Mines and University of Colorado Boulder. Hear local tech ethics students' pitches for "Black Mirror" like storylines grounded in their concerns for the future of technology + society... and then see our team of improvisers bring those stories to life, with *you* choosing which "episode" to see played out in full.
