YBY ep 266: Improviser Bertrand Hance on learning to tell stories, not jokes.
This week on Yes But Why, I interviewed French improviser/musician, Bertrand Hance.
Bertrand Hance is a man with many creative talents. He is a skilled improv comedian and a corporate team building coach. He is currently teaching theatrical improvisation workshops for teens and adults through The Maison des Jeunes et de la Culture des 3 Maisons as well as an improv workshop for people with disabilities through APF Nancy. Bertrand is also a certified cooking teacher, a musical composer, and an avid amateur astronomer.
In our conversation, Bertrand tells me how his brother got him into improv. Bertrand talks about the vibrant improv community of his hometown, Nancy. We discuss the importance of storytelling to culture, to being human.
We talk about the exhilaration of performing onstage and how much we both miss it. Bertrand and I connect on our love of teaching improv and helping people become more confident.
