FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO PLAY WITH US…. Join our one-day IMPROV WORKSHOP with Nancy L. Meyer, author of the new book “Teaching Improv Skills”.

NANCY L. MEYER TEACHER
Nancy L. Meyer has been making stuff up her entire life. That’s mostly a good thing.

The author of Teaching Improv Skills: Stories, Games, and Tips to Develop Skills for Improvisational Comedy Troupes, Nancy thrives on using improvisation and games to work with groups to improve their improv, communication, storytelling, writing, and pedagogical (teaching stuff) skills. People comment that sessions with Nancy are humorous yet seriously informational, and workshops are hands on and thoroughly engaging.

She has delivered workshops at national conferences, including the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), American Alliance of Theatre in Education (AATE), National Art Education Association (NAEA), Beyond School Hours (BSH), and the Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC), and has been the keynote speaker for the Integrated Arts Conference at Plymouth State University and the Kaiser Permanente Educational Theatre Director’s National Conference.

Once, when describing her varied career, Nancy’s neighbor commented, “Wow. You seem so normal.”
Her seemingly normal career includes professional improvisational comedy performer & coach (Laughing Matters, Now This!); classroom teacher; instructional STEAM coach; education director (Laughing Matters, Young Audiences, CWK Network); innovative teaching and learning manager (Crayola); trainer; Master Teaching Artist (Alliance Theatre, Wolf Trap); copyeditor; writer; professional jazz vocalist; artistic director; musical theatre performer; and—most importantly—mom.
