Want to *start fresh* this new year? Check out Fresh Eye Image Consulting, a personal fashion consulting business started by one of our amazing Kinkonauts, Jordan Lane. Jordan focuses on being inclusive of all sizes and genders and empowering people who may feel intimidated by fashion. In improv, we spend a lot of time honing the signals we send and building confidence along the way. Since we can't improvise right now, why not try doing the same thing with your personal style? You'll come back to class & stage looking and feeling that much better!

Our performers are doing cool things! Check out Infinite Horizons Radio by Jordan Lane. It's an improvised homage to late-night talk radio shows like Coast to Coast AM. Featuring a different guest every episode - most recently our pal Rasheed Green (of Casually Dope fame & a guest at our 2019 Reactor Improv Festival)! Very fun - be sure to check it out! https://anchor.fm/infinite-horizons-radio

Our statement in support of the 35//50 initiative: Improv is rooted in storytelling, and the real story our city is told through the unique voices and experiences of our diverse population. We are committed to the goal of increasing representation of underrepresented groups throughout our company and making our organization a space of inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility. We will continue to put measures in place to ensure that our leaders, teachers, performers, au...dience, and other organizational members represent the diverse communities within this city. We know that we will make mistakes, but we commit ourselves to meeting any misstep with open ears, hearts and minds as we undertake the important work of being a better organization for everyone. Read our full statement detailing our plans to ensure that The Kinkonauts is and will always be a safe and positive space where we all can create, share, and enjoy our art form together. https://www.kinkonauts.com/inclusion-and-safety/ See more
