LYN PIERSE
About
Train with one of Australia’s pioneering forces in improvisation.Across a 50 year career, Lyn Pierse has taught generations of actors, improvisers and comedians at leading institutions including NIDA, Actors Centre Australia, Sydney Actors School and internationally in New Zealand, Japan and Europe. A NIDA Acting graduate and author of the acclaimed Improvisation: The Guide, Lyn was instrumental in the grassroots development of the Australian improvisation boom and pioneered Theatresports® teaching across universities and communities nationwide.
In this four week masterclass, Lyn returns to Sydney Acting Studio to deliver a practical, dynamic and deeply empowering exploration of improvisation for actors.
You will:
• Learn the fundamental nuts and bolts of improvisation
• Unlock creative blocks and build instinctive responses
• Clarify and accept offers with confidence
• Strengthen listening, yielding and collaboration
• Shape narrative and invent dialogue in the moment
• Use improvisation as a powerful tool to unlock scripted work
Improvisation is the glue that frees actors, deepens connection and ignites truthful performance. It is essential craft. It is freedom. It is the actor’s greatest ally.
Lyn creates a safe, energised space to take risks, play boldly and trust your instincts.
