Favourite improv moment: A one-on-one moment while puppeteering a fortune teller. A young girl whose dad had recently passed, was asking when the boy she liked would like her back. ‘Zoltan’ encouraged her to find love in herself with her music, singing, and other things she enjoyed. She skipped away, enlightened! I cried.
