Will's Info
Co-founder and primary instructor for the independent longform workshop, "Long Shot", 2016-current.Coach for the intrepid MILSA McGill Longform varsity team, 2016-current.
Occasional coach for other local Montreal longform teams.
A longtime adherent of Improv comedy, my influences trace to the inception of the original Upright Citizens Brigade in the 1990's. I'm an aspiring Improv "connoisseur" by way of intensive scholarship, auditing, practicum, and youtube procrastination. The drive to relay my understanding of Improv as an art form and craft is probably tied to my self-imposed exile from the US in 2006. A circuitous decade across Eurasia followed, pairing a foray into the career of teaching with a people-watching survival habit. I am a strong believer in, and witness to, development through confrontation (of ignorance, fear, and other counter-productive pathologies). In Montreal I have been attending Theatre Ste. Catherine's Sunday Night Improv since April 2014, have taken courses at Montreal Improv Theatre, and am generally an active member and organizer of the anglo Improv community in Montreal.
