Improv teacher and motivational speaker Terry Sand brings a wealth of fun and experience to Bay Area students and schools
"When a child learns how to perform improv theater, the lighthearted environment motivates and invigorates self-acceptance. The results are amazing!"
Originally, Terry trained as a teacher, receiving both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Modern Dance and Theater from U.C.L.A.
Upon graduating in 1977, she was introduced to improvisation comedy and studied under some of the best teachers in San Francisco, including John Crenna, John Cantu and John Elk. Starting in 1978, she performed in professional improv troupes including Papaya Juice, Femprov and the Fisheads.
Over the last ten years, Terry has kept her skills fresh and sharp by doing motivational speaking about the importance of humor in the workplace at some of the nation's leading companies and teaching improv locally to adults. She has also performed with and directed both The Red Herrings and The HumorTech Players.
In
addition to that, Terry is a wife and mother of a 10-year-old
daughter. In an effort to pass the "improv torch" on to
her daughter and the next generation, Terry began teaching classes
at her daughter's private school in Foster City. The results were
evident and both the parents and school invited her to return.
If you live in the Bay Area, now your child or school can benefit too. Ask your school or principal to invite Terry Sand to put together a class for your students.
