FlowFeel Arts Education is a professional, community-based training program rooted in real-world industry experience and inclusive creative practice. Led by Jessica Hardy Kado—actor, filmmaker, and graduate of The Second City Chicago Conservatory—our programs draw from years of performance in improv and live comedy, including work within the Chicago improv community and independent film projects, as well as experience producing nationally recognized events like the Chicago Comedy Film Festival and Los Angeles Comedy Film Festival.
Our newest initiative, The Story Tree, is designed as an entry point and training ground for young actors interested in exploring improvisation for the first time. Through games, storytelling, and ensemble-based work, students build confidence, creativity, and collaboration skills in a supportive environment.
FlowFeel Arts is committed to accessibility and integrity. We are an inclusive program that actively creates opportunities for all students to experience the magic of improv and performance—without hidden fees, fundraising pressures, or expectations placed on families beyond participation. We pride ourselves on maintaining a professional standard while staying deeply connected to the community we serve.
