Podcast about improvisation, comedy and art. On stage and in life. Stories from different cultures, and guests from all over the world. Podcast available also in Polish, both on ROZALSKA.com
Improvising in foreign languages is a challenge. Let's tame this beast. What to do when we don't understand what's happening? How to turn linguistic problems to our advantage? How not to lose flow when we lose words? How to create a safety net in case of absolute confusion? We will also take a look at some multilinguistic shows.

Stage makeup and styling
There is no film and theatre without makeup, yet we underestimate this power of expression in improvised theatre. The whole styling is a massive tool that can take both actors and the audience on a journey to different worlds. How can we use it to serve our artistic purpose, and to make our stage persona shine? Let me know what were the best styled shows you've seen and how do you use stage makeup to kreatura.podcast@gmail.com (mailto:kreatura.podcast@gmail.com)!

Couch Traveler
If you're tired of the situation around us, the stress, checking the news ten times a day, find a moment to chill and let me invite you on a little journey to my carefree memories from travels to different parts of the world. Do people in Seattle really wanna know how are you? What is the Moon doing upside down? Why the word "molo" makes Finns giggle, ad what behaviours make "one Italian grandma die"?
