Your Teacher - Carla Haynes
Carla’s approach to teaching is warm, encouraging, and supportive. She likes to create a very fun, stress-free, and non-judgemental environment in her classroom. It’s a space where the stakes are low, and you can try new things safely, knowing that whatever happens is okay. Carla’s psych background (she has a bachelor of psychology with first class honours from Griffith University) informs her approach to teaching and thinking about improv. She understands that it takes great courage to get yourself to an improv class, and she loves to see students start to relax, have fun, and become more comfortable as the weeks go on. Carla believes that improv is for everyone, and that improv can teach us so much, including how to play again, get in touch with our creative side, share control with others, be present in the moment, pay attention and really listen to others, trust and honour our instincts, and bravely give things a go without knowing what the outcome will be. Carla’s hope is that she will gently guide her students towards the realisation that they are creative, interesting people who are, and always have been, enough. Exactly as they are.
Carla has been performing with Improv Queensland for many years now and has performed as a cast member in shows around Australia and overseas. She has previously held the titles of Brisbane’s Iron Improvisor and Theatresports Grand Champion. She has featured in some of Improv Queensland’s biggest shows including Heartfelt High at the Brisbane Comedy Festival and Murder at the Bowlo for the Anywhere Festival. Carla is also a working actor, and has appeared in numerous television commercials, including advertising campaigns for Compare the Market, Suncorp, Domino’s, Geeks 2U, Youfoodz, and Lendlease, among others.
