About Motion Theater
Motion is a form of autobiographical improvisational theater created by Nina Wise. Performers create instant performances from the stories of their lives in solo, duet and ensemble forms that rarely fail to surprise and move the heart to laughter and to tears.
About the Performers
Beth Sperry
Before moving to Marin County, Beth Sperry trained and performed in New York and Los Angeles. She has worked with Nina Wise and Motion Theater for four years.
Simone Rodin
Simone has performed with improvisers at The Marsh and Cafe Rasa. When not in front of an audience, she uses her improvising skills to help parent her two feisty daughters.
Robert Young
Retired from a career as a psychologist, Robert is now exploring body work and qigong, continuing his life long study of drumming, and dabbling in improv—where his extroverted persona is coming out of the shadows.
Sybil Meyer
Sybil is a psychotherapist, dancer, artist, and vision quest guide who has studied and performed contact improv and Motivity extensively. She works part time in private practice and part time in public mental health.
Laura Chase
A retired school teacher, presently tutoring children and adults with dyslexia, Laura has opened up her “creative closet” to start improv and she’s loving it!
Thalia DeWolf
Thalia DeWolf has been practicing Motion Theater for many years, with a respite during which she gave birth to two children. A writer, mover, and improviser, she brings her array of talents to the stage.
