Marilyn teaches : Level 1 on Tuesdays
Marilyn Divine has been a Brody Theater ensemble member for 15 years, and has played in festivals and tournaments in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. In addition, she was a member of the sketch comedy duo Uberfox, which produced the first Brody sketch show. She has been a Fundamentals of Improv teacher at the Brody since 2012.
Her favorite reoccurring shows to perform in are the Girls, Girls, Girls! shows, and Anon And On And On, the Brody's improvised Shakespearean show...both of those shows enable her to make big, strong character choices, which is always a pleasure to her, and one of the things she stresses most strongly in her classes. In addition to her theater adventures, she is also a small business owner and hairstylist, is involved with a local animal rescue, and enjoys all things comedy related, films, music, and time spent with her four fabulously lucky pets. |
"Marilyn brings out the best in her students. She pays careful attention to each student's needs and helps them work to improve. Her feedback is invariably positive and her classroom atmosphere is always fun."
"Marilyn Divine is Divine: she created a safe and fun atmosphere where we could let go and learn.
This class was one of the most fun and mind opening things I have done in years!"
"Marilyn is a fantastic teacher. She's gifted and perceptive and smart and dedicated. I loved how she -- and everyone in our class -- took the work seriously and gave it their absolute best. No one thought of "improv" as just some trivial comedy thing that you do to get laughs in front of an audience. She also held all of us to that standard, even at the height of our silliness, which I deeply appreciate. I've had many acting classes of all kinds in my life, and Marilyn's was one of the absolute best."
"Marilyn is a wonderful instructor and it has been a pleasure to be in her class thus far. She gives great feedback, and I've really learned a lot from being in her class."
"Remember that little playful kid inside of you, maybe hiding behind "I'm a grown up now"... you know, the One one you used to be? Marilyn Divine will coax the playfulness back out, & makes it safe to play again!"
