Lean Into It: The Power of Hard Yes, And Turning Conflict into Agreement

Sabrina Manansala is an artist, host, performer, and marketing professional who ignites her creativity through improvisation, dance, music, and spoken word poetry. She has taught improv workshops across the globe—including Singapore, Los Angeles, Taipei, Nigeria and Vietnam, —and regularly runs workshops, produces shows, and holds monthly improv jams in Manila.

She served as the Production Head for Fringeprov 2025, a 12-hour improv festival in Manila; as a Production Manager for Manila Improv Festival 2026; and as an applied improv facilitator running workshops for major enterprises in the Philippines such as Bytedance (TikTok), Dunkin, BPI, DB Schenker, JFC, and more.

Her work is deeply rooted in movement, physicality, emotion, and presence—believing that stories live in every gesture and that improv is a kinetic dance where each moment unfolds with warmth and adventure. She regularly performs with the house team of Third World Improv—Housekeeping Improv, Buwan ng Wika Improv, Noted with Thanks, and Same Bananas—blending art forms and communities through shared play and creativity.
