52 & 53. He’s Woven Into Us: Grieving through Collective Memory

About the episode:

Today I talk to Jorin Garguilo, a teacher and longtime member of the Chicago improv community (I've taken his improv classes, and can attest that he's an incredible teacher and performer!).

Jorin is a Wisconsin-born, North Carolina-educated, Chicago based improvisor. Jorin began improvising in 1991 at ComedyWorx in Raleigh, North Carolina, and since 2004 has performed, taught, and coached at theaters across Chicago, the country, and the world. He was a founding member of Rainbow Deli at CIC and Revolver at iO. Jorin has written and currently teaches the ensemble curriculum in CIC’s training program. For info on improv shows or classes, check out @cictheater on Instagram.

Today, Jorin and I discuss:

  • Honoring and remembering his friend Mike Enriquez

  • The idea of carrying on someone’s essence and identity

  • The ephemeral nature of improv and life

  • And more!
