MICHAEL BEJANI
Michael Bejani started doing plays when he was 6 years old continuing on through school to gain an A-Level certification in drama & theatre. He has performed in many plays and studied, set design, script writing and method acting. During his university studies he continued to pursue his love for theatre and enrolled in an Improv school. As his experience grew over the years, he moved up the ranks and was eventually invited to be on the ‘House-Team’, which is the highest level of Improv theatre and regarded as ‘amateur-professional level’ theatre as audiences pay to come and see you perform.
Michael's approach to theatre is EMM (Effort Matters Most). He believes in committing fully to your role (no matter how silly or temporary) and helping others on stage do the same. The most important thing is having fun! Improvisation is about letting go, silliness and shenanigans and Michael believes that theatre can teach us not only about acting but also important life skills such as outside the box thinking, self confidence, letting go of control, team work and being present in the moment.
