In this episode, Naomi sits down with Hila Di Castro—actress, international improviser, and teacher—to geek out about their shared love of improv. Hila opens up about how she got started, her deep commitment to teaching, and her passion for supporting women in the improv community.

Recorded in the lunch room of Berlin's legendary Ratibor Theatre during Impro-Fest 2025, this conversation captures the festival's unique magic—squeezed between rehearsals, shows, and communal meal prep. (Because at a European improv festival, you can always count on two things: laughs and incredible backstage snacks.)

Hila is the creator and director of WOMAN UP! and co-artistic director of international improv ensembles Momentum and 20,000 Words, bringing gender-conscious storytelling to stages worldwide.

In this episode:

  • Why improv remains endlessly inspiring
  • Hila's journey into performance and teaching
  • Building community and championing women in improv
  • The special energy of international improv festivals
