CLARE KELSO

Clare is a long serving Tutor with TYP.  She has over 35 years experience as a tutor of drama, specializing in improv.  Clare works in most performance areas – you may even recognise her from such series as “Shortland Street”, “Outrageous Fortune” and “Super City” with Madeleine Sami, who was one of the first successful TYP students to go on and have a great career in film and live performance, but it’s live improv that Clare loves to teach.

Clare’s real love is teaching improvisation. “There’s nothing more enjoyable to me than to see a young actor struggle, push and work their way through the TYP training and achieve great success.   The teachers get real skills from their training and the students learn confidence, team work and the ability to think on their feet.  It’s great preparation for the world, in and out of school.”  – Clare Kelso
