INSTRUCTORS
This drop-in is co-led by Power Sauce (Stephen Gillikin & Wendy Natividad)
As a duo both on- and off-stage, Power Sauce (Stephen Gillikin & Wendy Natividad) regales audiences with novel yet timeless tales by serving up some good ol’ fashioned long form improv. They have performed and produced shows all around Los Angeles and have been in festivals in New York and The Philippines.
Stephen is an actor, improviser and teaching artist. He’s a faculty member at the Fountain Theatre and PS Arts and the creator of Community Improv which offers affordable and accessible workshops. He’s also one half of the improv duo Power Sauce. Stephen believes the experience of improv is about finding connection, and that the skills and knowledge of improv are just as useful for our communication offstage.
Wendy has been a member of numerous online- and LA-based improv teams; has produced live improv and variety shows across LA; and has taught improv workshops for students of various experience levels and cultural backgrounds. Previously, she served as Artistic Director at The Pack Theater where she oversaw the implementation of theater's artistic vision to reflect the independent and diverse voices of comedy in Los Angeles.
