Every time you interact with someone,
you become an improvisational actor.

A job interview. An audition. A cocktail party. A simple phone call. In each case, you become your own writer. Your own director. Your own actor.

No day goes according to plan. No meeting goes as anticipated. No casual conversation plays out according to a script.

But the talents you'll develop in this workshop are the next best thing.

Here are some of the skills you'll learn:

Create scenes that are dynamic, specific,
and interesting
Create and develop believable characters
Create spontaneous monologues
Communicate with confidence and presence
Authenticity, risk-taking, and boldness
Teamwork and ensemble skills
Physical and vocal freedom

Even performing artists can polish their acting chops.

Just as life doesn't go by a script, the film and TV industries are relying on improvisations to develop scenes. So even seasoned actors could benefit from brushing up on their improv skills.

Good scenes begin with the right setting.

Stretching and pushing yourself works best if you feel safe. The right environment is essential. In Daena's Improvisation Acting Lab, you'll learn in a fun and supportive atmosphere where trust underlies everything we do.

Meet Daena.

Daena has dual backgrounds in the performing arts and in organizational development and coaching. An actor, director and consultant, she has spent over 25 years combining these disciplines and, in the process, pioneered an innovative method for teaching improvisation to people from virtually every profession.

The buzz about Daena

"Daena's work is not only powerful, entertaining and provocative, it's filled with wisdom and insight. Through your laughter and tears, you'll walk away with a deeper understanding of yourself and the world we all share together. Give yourself the gift of Daena Giardella!"
-Cheryl Richardson, Author of "Stand Up for Your Life," "Life Makeovers," "Take Time for Your Life"

"Daena Giardella is brilliant. I found her work to be extremely resonant, relevant, moving and funny. She gets to the essence of what is important. I wholeheartedly recommend her performances and classes to everyone."
-Natalie Goldberg, Author of "Writing Down the Bones" and "Wild Mind"

"Daena is a master teacher who has led me on an incredible journey. It's so much more than an acting class: she re-invigorated my understanding of acting and improvisation and invited the parts of me out to play that I was longing to get in touch with. I found enough creativity to write two plays in the time it takes me to generally develop one character and storyline. I loved this class!"
-Paula Plum, Actor

"After a very short time I knew I was in the hands of a superb teacher. She creates a safe environment and then challenges you to go farther than one ever thought possible. By the end of the workshop I felt I could do anything. My work with her has changed my life and I am deeply grateful."
- Ron Goldman, Psychotherapist and Senior Organizational Consultant
