Five questions with Stephen Sim

What motivates you?

Enjoying the moment.

What do you do for a living, and why?

I’m in a duo called CRUMBS. We perform improvised shows internationally, produce live shows and lead master classes in improvisation. Why do I do this for a living? Because it’s the best job in the world.

Which TED talk do you think everyone should watch?

Charles Limb: Your Brain on Improv

Why are you excited to speak at TEDxManitoba?

I’m excited to share my thoughts on play, because I play for a living and teach others how to play.

What is your idea worth spreading?

Play is something that we all did growing up. We needed Play to learn how to grow up. But the thing is, we need Play to keep us young too.
