Hello, I'm Elke (L-key) and I love improv! I'm an experienced improviser and character actress from NYC with training from the renowned Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) and the People's Improv Theater (PIT). I have performed and taught at festivals around the world. I'm registered with the New York State Education Department to teach Drama/Improv and I'm dedicated to helping others discover their own love for the art form.

Improv should be fun, fearless, and full of surprises. I teach and perform improv with a love for bold choices, honest reactions, and playful exploration. My workshops invite performers to move, listen deeply, and trust what’s already working. Whether the focus is physical storytelling, character work, or ensemble connection, each session is designed to help improvisers grow while having a great time.
