Rosalind Gregoire - Artist & Improviser
Roz is a London-based interdisciplinary artist, improviser, and film production designer. Her work as a visual artist and set designer has given her a strong foundation in composition, spatial relationships, and visual storytelling, all of which she applies directly to the stage. She is passionate about pushing the boundaries of improvisational theatre, and helping improvisers think like artists, using visual cues and compelling composition to elevate their storytelling and presence on stage. As well as regularly live illustrating and designing sets for improv shows, she also currently performs with 'Allegory of the Cave' (a shadow theatre show), 'The Pretend Company', and her duo 'Empty Set' (who's current show 'Echoes of This Place' combines live painting, printmaking and improvisation).
