Michelle Da Silva
Hometown: Etobicoke, ON
Michelle has had the pleasure of being trained by Larry Horowitz, Mike Kennard, Robin Duke, Joe and Dave Flaherty, and Allen Guttman. She found her love of improv there and after graduating, she began training with the Impatient Theatre Co, where she studied under founder Kevin Patrick Robbins, Sarah Hillier, Alex Tindal, Sean Magee, Mark Cotoia and Sean Tabares.
Michelle would like to end with a poem she published specifically for this bio:
"I came here to make you laugh,
not observe statistics on a graph,
if you wanna hear the funny,
let me stick it to you honey,
we're all made of flesh, and skin and bones,
all loved Madonna's pointy cones,
we all have hair, at least most of us,
we all live our lives like a constant rush,
I wanna be like him, I wanna be her!
You've got it just as good as any other,
and Im just here,
to bring on that cheer."
Michelle performs with...
Josef Addleman: After moving to Toronto in 2006, Josef wandered through the wastes studying education and feeling lost. Eventually, he was directed to Impatient Theatre Company, where he studied under a host of Kevins and Seans, and began mainlining improv to feed his long-neglected performance addiction.
Anand Nimkar: One day during the spring of 2009, Anand sat at his desk contemplating life. A student of accounting, Anand wanted to bring balance to the balance sheet that was his life. He said to himself: "What is the exact opposite of what I can see myself doing?" It was a heavy question that warranted heavy googling. Suddenly, it hit him..."Improv!"
Mike Riverso: Looking for a way to escape the doldrum of everyday life, Mike began learning improv in January 2008, starting at the Second City Training Centre in Toronto. After having completed the Second City introductory program, he was pointed in the direction of the Impatient Theatre Company, and has stuck with them ever since.
Mike Roy: A decade of Classical and Children's theatre performance has taught me one thing. Losing your pants or falling from a great height will always get your audience's attention. If want them to love you though, you have to love your character, naked and bruised.
