Your Teacher:
Dawn Balk
Funny business and show business combined to make a baby who was born in Chicago addicted to the instant high a performer experiences from laughter and applause. Dawn was cast in many performing groups and attended several summers of intensive theater training camps before earning her BA in Communications/TV production from Columbia College Chicago.
​
Her show biz interests blossomed into a long career both in front of, and behind the camera, creating many large scale corporate, industrial, commercial and educational video productions.
​
Dawn has been with JEST since its founding in 2018, and is currently a member of the performing group, and of the teaching staff. She is intent on endlessly spreading her Improv mania to guffawing audiences and aspiring performers.
