Description
What happens when one artist takes up too much space? This episode, Lloydie dives into the delicate dance of sharing the spotlight. We hear from Swedish improviser Hjalmar Hardestam who reflects on the fine line between supporting scenes and steamrolling them. As he recounts his experiences from the Robin Hood International Improv Festival, we're offered a glimpse into the self-awareness required to balance personal drive with ensemble harmony. We also meet Autumn Unwin, who candidly shares her journey from a newbie to a seasoned improviser with a passion for inclusivity. Both guests explore the nuances of stage dynamics, from the pitfalls of hogging the limelight to the challenges of coaxing reluctant performers into joining the fun on stage.
