FRANCK BUZZ: 
The co-founder and artistic director of IMPRO INFINI and SUBITO, the largest international impro festival in France, Franck Buzz enjoys playing free and organic improvisation, mixing languages and cultural differences to share the pleasure of interacting and connecting with others.
This search for diversity, coupled with his extensive training and incredible talent, has seen Franck invited to perform and teach for many companies throughout France and around the world. In fact, he’s only just finished performing and teaching in Dubai, for the Arabian Nights Festival and Conference produced by the International Theatresports Institute.
Inspired by the great masters of black and white movies, Franck begins with the premise: “we shouldn’t talk unless we can improve the silence and instead, just be.”
He draws on his extensive background in physical theatre and the practice of connecting to, exploring the diversity of, and trusting the instincts and impulses of the body.
