Veena’s improvisation workshops are designed to open students’ imagination and spontaneity.  "Don't think, Don't be clever, and don't concentrate!"  Keith Johnstone

Veena’s Improv classes are all based on the spirit and philosophy of the Keith Johnstone system.

 

  • Learn to apply improv exercises to text, and become more inventive at auditions.

  • Re-train yourself to accept your impulses.

  • The exercises and improv games will free your mind and get you out of your head.

  • There's no pressure to be funny. Classes focus on spontaneity, & storytelling on your feet

  • Invent scenes without any effort.

 

“Actors who’re busy searching for good ideas are in the future, so they’re not seeing what’s going on right in front of them. When we think ahead, we miss most of what's happening on the stage, as in life." - Keith Johnstone
