DESCRIPTION:

Led by award-winning performer/educator Veena Sood, this dynamic 2-day improv course is designed for actors looking to enhance their craft—whether you're preparing for scripted work or looking to perform improv live on stage. Veena's unique approach draws from her 35 years of experience working with Improv master Keith Johnstone and her extensive career in theatre, film, TV, and improv.

 

You’ll dive into full-length improv scenes that create compelling stories, moving beyond simple jokes to craft engaging narratives. In this course, you’ll learn how to:

 

• Let yourself be shaped by your scene partner.

• Make your fellow actors shine and support their performance.

• Embrace bold choices that push your boundaries.

   

Veena also brings her expertise in exploring Status relationships, teaching exercises that help you make meaningful connections on stage. You’ll learn how to focus on creating relationships rather than focusing on trying to be “good,” resulting in deeper, more authentic performances.

 

In addition to improv games, the course will include exercises that are perfect for rehearsing text, designed to help you unlock your creativity and spontaneity. Veena will guide you in exercises that allow you to release personal barriers, helping you unlock a freer, more dynamic version of yourself in every scene.

 

With her background as an instructor at the Motion Picture Arts program at Capilano University, an onset acting coach, and a co-founder of TheatreSports, Veena’s class will equip you with powerful tools to enhance your performances both on stage and on screen.

 

Whether you're refining your improv skills or expanding your approach to rehearsed text, this course will give you the tools to create memorable, spontaneous moments that captivate both onstage and in rehearsals.
