Performance
Improvised and composed performance – physical presence, real choice, and the comedy of getting caught making it up.
My performance work treats improvisation as live composition. Not invention for its own sake, not entertainment driven by speed and cleverness, but a way of working with what is actually happening: in the body, in space, in relation to others.
And in my mind too, of course.
The body still comes first. Attention follows. Action comes next. Meaning takes shape through that sequence, through contact between body and imagination, between performers, between performer and audience.
Humour is at the heart of it: the human comedy that appears when someone is fully committed to what they’re doing.
The Supreme Art of Improvisation
A solo show where I improvise from seemingly nothing and narrate the hidden mechanics as they happen – the choices, the impulses followed or discarded. It’s where my teaching and performing meet: what I train in the studio, I expose on stage.

PLAN C
My long-term solo improvisation project, created in 2012 and performed more than seventy times across four continents. One performer on stage, no narrative frame, no fixed characters to hide behind. It’s where I’ve tested my understanding of improvisation most directly, in public.
AVANT-GARDE
A non-verbal physical comedy on war and struggle – slapstick, clown-theatre and savage mime. The original idea for the show was mine. I directed and created it with HaHaHa Impro Theatre in Sofia (2018).
I performed with The Improfessionals in Paris for fifteen good years, and was their artistic director from 2008 to 2014, directing and shaping the company’s long-form work.
Outside improvisation, I’ve also performed Beckett – Act Without Words II and Catastrophe in Luxembourg (2016–2017) – and done some screen work, including appearances in music videos.
