From small seeds, great FIG trees grow

When I first moved to Taipei, there was no bilingual Mandarin/English improv group. I arrived having only one friend, Olof, a tall Swede who enjoys the time-stretch of awkward moments and is still very much an important part of my life to this day. It was improv that had first connected us, and it is often improv that brings us together, in one way or another. We met many years ago in Beijing at a free bilingual improv workshop run by Beijing Improv (BJI). <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*N-3VhPSiUZEiRW-vHhK_1A.jpeg" style="height:672px; width:700px" /> Picture from a recent FIG potluck where our group practices in the kitchen of Social Innovation Lab.
