What I do
Improv: hands-on practice for real work situations
Improvisation isn't just for actors. Its tools (listening, acceptance, building on ideas, presence) translate directly into meetings, presentations and everyday teamwork.
Teamwork
Build on each other's ideas, trust one another and create real collective momentum.
Conflict management
Really listen, defuse tension and find a way forward when things get difficult.
Risk-taking
Embrace the unexpected, dare to try and turn mistakes into resources rather than roadblocks.

About
Actor, improviser, teacher
I spent fifteen years in Shanghai teaching and performing. Today, I put that experience to work for teams.
A graduate of the Montpellier Drama Conservatoire, I taught English and drama at the Lycée Français de Shanghai from 2004 to 2019. In Shanghai I was artistic director of Zmack, the city's largest improv troupe, founded its French-speaking branch Zut Alors, and performed at improv festivals in Manila, Hong Kong, Belfast and Shanghai, after training in Chicago.
Based in Paris since 2019, I perform with the duo Digressions and several improv teams, teach amateur groups, and work with companies as an independent trainer.
