Anne Veal

Let's play! Find the joy. Get connected. Support the hell out of each other.

I'm Anne and I'd love to help your team re-discover a sense of play, develop a stellar group mind, listen with intent, commit harder, and make each other 1000% right.

I'll be teaching Group Mind at The Greenhouse (with The Armory) when it launches this Summer and formerly taught at Reckless where I also served as Assoc. AD and directed flagship shows. I've improvised across the US, Canada, and Scandinavia and my teachers include Jordan Klepper, Shaun Diston, Keisha Zollar, John Murray, Kevin Hines, and Anders Fors.

If we're talking forms, I have experience working with Cats Cradle, Harold, Deconstruction, La Ronde, Monoscene, Slacker, Sleepover, Organic, Spokane, Town Hall... and really love working with teams to develop forms that showcase their unique strengths and personality. I also teach corporate workshops specifically for the tech world, focusing on "yes, and" techniques to increase empathy and innovation.

Prior to working together, we'll connect on your group's goals and what you love about playing together. I'll use that to design a practice that will stretch you while staying rooted in joy.

(Oh, and if you're interested in trying some improv that's not purely comedic, I've taught Improvised Play as well as created 60+ improvised plays in the style of Miller, Williams, Chekhov, and Shepard. It's dope and freeing to try improv with different aims!)
