Matt Smith is a Partner at Cookus Interruptus. He possess expertise in improvisation, organizational development, theatre, teaching, fundraising and 19 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Matt introduced me to Improv at Freehold Theatre. I was a student of his and was amazed by his energy, talent and sensibilities to actors. With spontaneous storytelling, games, and exercises I experienced honest connection to the moment. He explained that our authentic responses are not wrong which became a gift of freedom from fear and holding back which allowed openness I’ve never experienced before. Matt brings seasoned professional wisdom to his students and I enjoy his class immensely. At one point I was so connected with an "in the moment" exercise I surprised Matt and myself - it was energizing."
