ROCIO Barquilla

Founder / Director of VLC Playground

Rocío is a dynamic Spanish improviser based in Valencia, where she wears multiple hats as director, producer, and performer at VIP (Valencia Improv Playground). She is also the "benevolent" head-master of VIP School of Improv.

Her improv journey kicked off in Slovenia nearly a decade ago, performing in English—a challenge that fueled her passion for the international improv scene across Europe and beyond. She found a community of like-minded and open-hearted people in improv, and she is never looking back!

Inexplicably funny, emotionally available and introvertedly social, Rocío loves exploring the unknown through acceptance, trust, storytelling, a million resources and alternative dimensions of reality - whether it implies comedy, longform, freeform, abstract, sensitive improv or life. She's co-founded several groups to explore everything from abstract and sensitive improv to feminist comedy, always pushing the boundaries of what's possible on stage.

With a Master’s in Applied Theater, Rocío loves using spontaneous creativity not just for entertainment, but also as a powerful tool to facilitate workshops about personal development, learning, problem solving, etc.

When she's not transforming lives through improv, she’s enjoying the company of her two Slovenian cats, who are undoubtedly as quirky as their owner.
