Hey there! Are you a fan of improv? Do you wish to become a more confident performer? Well, I’m glad you’re here!
Join me, Sarah, one of the funny friends over at Rooftop Improv for a workshop all about stage presence and performing with confidence.
In this workshop, we will explore improv through an actor lens, break down the details of certain moments in a scene, and really get into how to hop on stage and rock a scene under pressure.
ABOUT THE HOST
Sarah Wun is an educator, writer, filmmaker, dancer, puppeteer, improviser, and award-winning actress. She has taught all kinds of theatre, choreographed dance and stage combat for school plays, and directed a school play turned film during Covid in early 2020. She’s a legend when it comes to adaptation and thinking on the spot. Her acting stage credits include The Picture of Dorian Gray (2025), Time Flies (2024), and Robinhood the Panto (2023).
Sarah has written three screenplays: Best Smile in the World (2022), Forward (2023) - featuring a familiar face from Rooftop!, and Remnants (2024). She has also acted in several short films, and two feature films. Sarah is currently cowriting a dark comedy TV show about growing up with a facial difference.
Sarah has been a part of Rooftop Improv for four years. In that time, Rooftop has taken part in an international festival, done several workshops, and hosted loads of performances in Hong Kong.
She works as a principal artist at Treasure Chest Theatre and is constantly using her improv skills, whether it’s as a puppet or teaching dance. She teaches another form of stage presence at her Burlesque classes where she focuses on promoting self confidence through body awareness and rhythm. When she’s not performing or teaching or writing, she can be found spinning upside down on an aerial hoop or silk. Essentially, Sarah is ALWAYS performing.
Sarah has taught improv to children and adults in school settings and is eager to bring her various performance skills to this workshop!
