Join us for this engaging, thought-provoking and practical exploration of how we can bring the mindsets and practice of improvisation into our daily lives.
Anne is a professional improv comedienne who has been performing since 2003. Anne trained at the famous Second City in Toronto and went on to perform with the two-time Canadian-Comedy Award nominated improv troupe “On the Spot” in Montreal. She has performed in festivals, shows and corporate events in Calgary, Montreal, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Orlando, Toronto and New York City (including Montreal’s “Just For Laughs”). Anne was most recently a member of Calgary’s “Improv Guild” where she performed in two gala performances with Colin Mochrie of “Whose Line is it Anyway?”. Anne recently relocated to Abu Dhabi where she plans to offer improv classes to students of all ages.
During our time together, we will: - Play a wide variety of improvisation games - Notice what aspects of ourselves are activated/ stretched in the games - Reflect on how these games might be useful in performance and life
