Carly Ciarrocchi Biography

Carly Ciarrocchi is a dynamic speaker, host, and creative force in children’s media, bringing infectious energy, deep curiosity, and a love of play to every stage. Whether moderating global conversations at the LEGO Ideas Conference in Denmark, hosting the Prix Jeunesse Awards in Munich, or guiding virtual gatherings for school districts, Ciarrocchi holds the mic with a rare blend of presence and play. Her background in live television, improvisation, and physical theatre means she doesn’t just adapt on the fly—she thrives there. Ciarrocchi shines as both a keynote speaker and skilled moderator, especially on topics of creativity, storytelling, or the power of play. At the heart of her work is her theory of bounce: the rhythm of curiosity, collaboration, resilience, and experimentation that lives in all of us and helps us feel the most alive. She creates conditions for people to reconnect to that rhythm and step into the world a little more alive, a little more themselves, and a lot more ready to play.

Carly Ciarrocchi Speaking Topics

  • Creating the Conditions for Bounce

    What if building our capacity for PLAY could transform our connection to ourselves, our community, and the world around us? What if play wasn’t the reward after the work, but the way we actually do the work better?

    In this energizing and interactive keynote, Carly Ciarrocchi—veteran children’s media host, improviser, and leading Bounce philosopher (okay, she also invented the philosophy)—invites audiences to reimagine play as a tool for creativity, collaboration, and aliveness. Drawing from her background in live children’s television, physical theatre, and learning research and design, Carly shares how Bounce—the rhythm of play that lives in all of us—can be activated in our everyday lives and work.

    With stories from the field, insights from the thinkers and makers who inspire this approach, and (low stakes!) interactive moments, participants explore how to reconnect with their innate spirit of play and how to help others do the same.

    Attendees will leave with:

    • a new framework for understanding play as a transformational practice
    • concrete tools to foster presence, curiosity, and low-stakes experimentation
    • fresh insight into their own “bounce rhythms” and when they feel most alive
    • a joyful reminder that failure isn’t the end—it's the beginning of flow

  • Idea Playground: How to Shape, Share, and Scale Creative Work for Kids

    Deep inside the Notes app in your phone is a series of ideas. Well, parts of ideas. You know what I’m talking about: those creative half-threads captured during a commute or a hang with other thinkers and makers. Get those ideas out of your app!—even if only for an afternoon.

    In this energizing, keynote-meets-workshop, Carly Ciarrocchi (TV host, podcast creator, and play-enthusiast) shares tips for how to bring your wonderful, weird, wild creative concepts to life. Get the inside scoop on how ideas move through development in children’s media, from pitch to production (and the pivots along the way). Carly will share how she’s grown original ideas into shows, live workshops, and collaborative partnerships—and how you can do it too.

    We’ll cover:

    • a crash course in how media for kids gets made
    • brainstorming warm-ups to get the good stuff flowing
    • low-stakes pitch practice with high-level feedback
    • tips for how to position and protect your ideas as you share them

    This is a workshop for dreamers, doers, and anyone ready to make something fresh, joyful, and deeply theirs—for kids.
