Rita
Mooney
I.T.A. -- Inspirational Training
Associate
Rita
Mooney has been a staple of the San Diego improvisation community since the
1980s, appearing in multiple troupes and teaching classes for nearly a
decade. Her training is rooted in the belief that improvisation thrives
when we are listening, supporting, and committing.
It
is through these beliefs that she becomes a strong resource for co-teaching the
TEAMprovising™ course with Milo at IMPROVentures. Co-teaching allows for
demonstration and more personal feedback than when TEAMprovising™ is taught by a
single instructor.
