Founder of ImprovWorks!

SUE's experience includes a BA in Education and over 30 years of teaching, performing and adapting and widely applying the techniques of improvisation. She approaches improv training as a powerful and joyful way to peel away constraints, restraints and inhibitions, allowing the naturally expressive, collaborative and creative self to emerge.

In addition to being a master teacher in improvisational theater, Sue is a dynamic corporate facilitator, an engaging Keynote speaker, an author (Working with Groups to Enhance Relationships, Whole Person Assoc.), and for 25 years, was the director and a regular performer with San Francisco's longest-running improvisational theater company, "Flash Family".  After so many years of performing with a troupe, Sue chose to walk out on a limb and try a one-woman improv show:  "Sue & Friends" bringing the audience into the show in as many ways as possible.

Also, was a Specialty Staff member of the Coaches Training Institute's Leadership Program for ten years, and was invited to go to Barcelona four times to train the European leadership groups.  This has sparked a fire to bring her work to more corners of the world: Paris, the UK, Canada, Finland, Norway, Spain, Sweden and The Netherlands.  

Sue is a founding member of The Applied Improvisation Network, actively participating on the Board of Directors and Planning Teams for the Annual Conferences.  Her special interest is in assisting folks who are new to the field.

A current passion is training trainers/facilitators and consulting on how to design powerful experiential workshops.
