Laugh Masters Academy, a Sydney-born comedy school specialising in Chicago-Style Improv and sketch comedy, announced the official launch of their unique curriculum in Melbourne.On the company’s expansion into Victoria, Laugh Masters Academy’s Executive Producer Eran Thomson said,
“We did one of our very first workshops in Melbourne back in 2012, and it was a huge success. Ever since then it’s been a dream to come back, and we’re finally here - with an incredibly talented roster of teachers ready to share their in-depth training and knowledge gleaned from the top schools in the USA.”
Australian Comedy Legend, Dan Pavatich, will be LMA Melbourne’s Artistic Director.
“My vision for LMA is that continue to be known as the school that helps performers and comedians find their voice, as well as giving them the tools and experience they need to create great work - no matter what the medium.”
The instructors teaching improv and sketch at Melbourne’s LMA include:
LMA’s new Artistic Director - Daniel Pavatich, a longtime veteran of Melbourne’s comedy scene and frequent performer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Fringe and more.
Justin Porter - An alumni of the USC Film School, and i.O. West, both in Los Angeles.
Vidya Rajan - Has trained extensively as an improvisational performer with Perth based companies Just Improvise, The Big Hoo-Haa (Perth) and at iO Chicago and is currently completely a Masters of Writing for Performance at VCA, and is a 2017 Melbourne Theatre Company Connect ambassador.
And David Evans - An actor and performer who is a regular participant on Improv Planet's weekly Improv Stand-Up Showcase and whose Australian TV credits include appearances on Neighbours, Offspring, House Husbands and the ABC2 series The Worst Year of My Life, Again.
Recent Level 3 graduate, Bogdan Constantinescu, found more than just the funny when it came to his experience at LMA:
“It's no exaggeration to say that LMA changed my life. I've found myself becoming more open, more kind to others. I feel safe speaking what lies in my heart, and am learning how to say it so that I am understood, and I am forming more meaningful relationships with those around me.”
Other LMA students also found the classes be useful outside of strictly comedic context, including Alan Hong who said,
“I highly recommend LMA to anyone and everyone! The skills you learn will serve you well in any career, social or relational pursuits. If you want to be successful, confident, funny, charismatic and the life of the party, yet, warm, understanding and supportive, then LMA is the best way to do that!”
