GII Symposium 2026

Georgia Gunesch, a founding member of Liminal Performance Group, started improvising as a member of Adrienne Flagg’s Toad City in the late-1990s, through which she was able to study briefly with Paul Sills and later with his daughter Aretha. Years later, she enjoyed studying and playing at UCB NY and Portland’s Gladys Kravits. Throughout her career, she has used improvisation both as direct performance and as a development tool for new work and immersive multi-media theatrical experiences, with companies such as Liminal, Richard Foreman Festival, TheaterLab NYC, and the Public Theater’s Under the Radar Festival. She has studied physical improvisation through Corporeal Mime and Meyerholds’ Biomechanics and holds a BA in theater from Trinity University. Presently, Georgia enjoys employing her improv skills while teaching people how to grow food with the OSU Master Gardener Program, parenting, and shaking things up performing with DAME improvisation.
