You will create imaginative settings with improvisation and world-building exercises and then explore those worlds on a 5 week adventure in acting, roleplay and storytelling. We'll create characters and plots, improvise whole scenes within those worlds and have a heck of a lot of fun doing it. Improv is a great way to spark your imagination and go anywhere you want go and be anyone you want to be... While actually learning communication, teamwork and performance skills through a fun and crazy confidence-building saga so you walk away with a greater understanding of how giant plots and sagas work. When does the conflict start? When do they resolve it? Whose the bad guy? Why just learn it when you can LIVE it as it happens!!?? Wherever we end up we will cover collaboration, acceptance, association, listening, respecting your fellow performers as well as acting, characterization, mime, being physical, playing with emotions, focus, concentration and, of course, confidence. The number one thing I hear from parents is how much my acting classes help with confidence. I have one main rule in all my improv classes: There are no bad ideas! Your learner will quickly discover confidence and enthusiasm in their own ideas and suggestions and they will come away feeling inspired. I teach in very fast and fun way, getting the learners active and immediately. We learn by doing. For example, if a skill requires 5 steps: I do not explain all the steps in advance. Instead we start with step one and then we all jump in immediately and try it. I am also a soccer coach and I structure my classes like my practices so they feel more active and keep your learner busy. Generally every class: 1) Starts with a quick warm-up group game 2) Then we roll the world dice to see where we'll end up 3) Another group improv game to create the world 4) Then we start creating characters and scenes and explore fun and silly stories made up on the spot! The weekly schedule: *The Syllabus isn't working for this listing so I have listed it here: MEETING #1 : CREATE & EXPLORE Warmup, basics of improv, review genres Introduction game (The Empty Room) Create our ten worlds a special world building game (scene settings) Roll the World Dice and begin exploring our first world! MEETING #2 - REPLACE & EXPLORE Improv warmups Intro game (The Aquarium) Before beginning, do they want to replace any worlds on the list? Roll the World Dice and explore our next 3 worlds. Story building begins through justification and association. MEETING #3: REPLACE & EXPLORE Improv warmups Intro game (Inspiration from Photos) Before beginning, do they want to change any worlds on the list? Roll the World Dice and explore our next 3 worlds. The story grows as they must justify where the dice takes them. MEETING #4: REPLACE REVISIT & REINCORPORATE Improv warmups Intro game (The Specialized Where) Before beginning, do they want to change any remaing worlds on the list? Roll the World Dice and explore our next 3 new worlds, revisiting as many as it takes to get there! The story builds to an antagonist or conflict they must solve. MEETING #5: Improv warmups Intro game (Three Things - Locations & Objects) Before beginning, do they want to change any of the ast 3 worlds on the list? Roll the World Dice and explore our last 3 worlds with a lot of world-hopping to finally get there! The conflict is resolved! Yay! Some examples of worlds and genres they might explore: Outer Space Alien planets Musical Comedy worlds Magical settings Animal Inspired (ie. Between the Hairs of a Cat; or World of the Porcupine People etc.) Cartoon crossovers Microscopic worlds Twisted Dimensions Reverse Gravity World Super Goats Alien creatures The Unicorn Turtle dimension The Upside Down Elon Musk Clone World In a Giant teacup On the surface of a Covid Molecule etc. You need absolutely no experience whatsoever for this fun acting camp, but some improv experience is definitely a bonus! Mostly you need: imagination and curiosity. :)

MEET ME: Gordon Woolvett
Hi, I’m Gordon Woolvett, founder of Boundless Reach. With over 250 plus screen credits in television, film and on stage—as a Gemini award-winning actor, writer, and director—I’ve seen how the right training can empower young performers to embrace their creativity, build confidence, and thrive.
You might recognize me from Andromeda (a sci-fi TV series sold in over 150 countries) or Bride of Chucky (which, let’s hope, your learner hasn’t seen!), but my passion extends far beyond the screen. With more than 45 years of professionally performing and training, I’ve developed tools for versatility and adaptability—exactly what your learner needs to overcome challenges, achieve greater success in acting, and unlock their inner artistry and creativity—all while laughing and having fun along the way.
As an improv performer (catch me live, weekly, at two different improv theatres in Vancouver, BC), a dad of three, and a soccer coach of 11 years: I’ve learned that creativity flourishes best in an environment that’s both structured and fun. That’s why our classes blend improvisation, scene study, and private coaching in joyful ways to help each student discover their unique voice and build the confidence to take on any challenge.
GORDON'S CREDIT HIGHLIGHTS
Many film & TV credits too numerous to list
Won a Gemini in 2002 (Canada's equivalent to the Oscars)
Was previously nominated in the '90s for Best Supporting Actor in a film
12 years of theatre and acting training
Written and directed numerous indy films and docs
Screewriter for indy film and prime time television
