Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Margot Escott LCSW
Q: What is improv to you, and how do you teach people to play with others?
Improv is making it up as we go along and riffing off the others in the ensemble; teaching focuses on listening, non-judgment, and adapting to different cognitive abilities to create a collaborative, playful experience.
Ali James
Q: For people listening, would you mind introducing yourself?
Ali introduces herself as a foodie and improviser, emphasizing her global palate and energy for exploring new experiences.
Karla Dingle
Q: Can you share a moment when you realized you were ready to be seen as an international teaching artist?
A defining moment came after a conversation that forced her to say the words, which empowered her to update her bios and embrace the title, publicly recognizing her readiness to teach across borders.
Karla Dingle
Q: What role does mentorship play in your work, and how do you identify ready performers?
She describes mentoring as a two-way process: recognizing talent and giving people a tap on the shoulder, then providing safe opportunities and coaching to help them grow into roles on stage and in teaching.
Karla Dingle
Q: How did you transition from performing to focusing on teaching and building a company?
Karla explains that after years on stage, she wanted to empower others and ensure diverse voices could access opportunities; she started by forming the Dingle Drama Repertory Company, assembled a team of 15, and expanded into structured programs and scholarships to widen access.
