About your teachers

This class is led by Greg Lavell and Isabella Valette. The two have worked together for over ten years, developing a strong creative connection and a shared love of improv. From completely improvised musicals, to short-form sketch shows, to narrative long-form, the two have developed a versatile, playful and energetic approach to improv.

Recently their new show ‘Cabaret Unscripted’, was nominated for BEST CABARET at Melbourne Fringe, 2023. A new season of the show is set to debut soon.
