Performance Background:
Words matter. And Kiran has dedicated his adult life to pursuing the meaning of words. Whether in his day job carefully drafting contracts or playing pretend onstage, Kiran has seen and continues to discover the power of words and their ability to cause change. Improvisation gives us the freedom and tools to explore - what happens when you blurt out the wrong words. It's a joyous thrill to see people make mistakes, to choose the wrong words, and rise to the challenge of seeing them through.
