Improv with Kaneez Workshop

Kaneez Surka’s "Improv With Kaneez" workshop is an extensive insight into the world of improv comedy where she incorporates basic improv tactics into well-crafted team building exercises and fun games to enhance productivity and focus. The workshop will be conducted over a 3-hour session engaging in fun interactive exercises that promote healthy leadership qualities and the ability to think outside the box.

Having trained at two of New York’s finest improv schools - the Magnet Theater and the Upright Citizen’s Brigade, Manhattan - Kaneez went on to build an improv scene in India and is lovingly known as the Improv Queen. Having taught improv to hundreds of people around India she also remains the proud creator of India’s only improv format shows - ‘Improv All Stars’ and ‘Something from Nothing’ on Amazon Prime. She is the leading Improv trainer and artist in the Indian comedy circuit and now wants to expand into the USA.

Improvisation is essentially "on the spot" or spontaneous moment of sudden inventiveness that can just come to mind, body and spirit as an inspiration. In Improv nothing is prepared, rehearsed or premeditated and that is an enormous encouragement to creativity. Learning to trust your intuition, and the people around you resulting in the invention of new thought patterns, new practices, new structures or symbols are all part of the improv experience.
