Carolyn Egan

I am a supportive and direct coach who can work with you on building team rapport, preparing for shows, learning new forms or working the game muscle. I teach at the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre, NY and for over 3 years have been working with everyone from 101 to advanced study students. I am a current Harold Night performer with the team "Rubarb" (previously Bruv, Kiss Kiss, ZUKO and Christopher Basketball) and perform around NYC and at festivals with my indie improv team Mango Tango (Zack Willis, Molly Gaebe, Steven Polletta & Bridgette Rizkalla). I love getting in to the nitty gritty with improv or working with performers to help them remain playful and staying out of their heads while still working on commitment and strong listening in scenes. I am an improviser who likes to keep my silly hat on while playing and also emphasize the importance of going in to a set with the mindset of really listening and supporting your teammates. I can help you work on forms such as the Harold, the Spokane, the Slacker, Macroscenes, Monoscenes, Close Quarters, La Rhondes, Improvised Documentaries/Movies, the Memento and just general scene work (or even in creating your own form)!

My schedule recently opened up more so I'm excited to do a bit more coaching and offer some workshops. If you're interested in joining my mailing list with workshops/shows/performance opportunities, feel free to reach out as well.
