Piper Goodfellow, Drama Coach
Performing from a young age, Piper has always had a passion for the stage. She began her training at Theatre Works Alberta when she was thirteen years old and has been developing herself as a theatre practitioner ever since. Throughout her studies she has explored many different areas of theatre including: Theatre the Absurd, Neutral Mask, Commedia dell’Arte, Performance Creation, Clown, Shakespeare, Improvisation, Stanislavski and Laban Movement Analysis.
Piper is a graduate of Mount Royal University’s conservatory acting program with a diploma in Theatre Performance and has since had opportunities to work as an assistant director for Mount Royal University and Lunchbox Theatre. Besides direction, she has also had the opportunity to try her hand in areas of technical theatre including costume and sound design.
Since graduation, Piper has also discovered the joy of teaching and passing her love of theatre down to students. She began her teaching career at the Pumphouse Theatre and has since taught kids from the age of eight to sixteen in classes ranging from technical acting to improvisation and Shakespeare! Collaborating with young artists and creating theatre is something that Piper finds especially interesting. This is an area that she looks forward to pursuing further in the coming year.
Besides teaching, Piper has been responsible for coordinating Pumphouse Theatre’s Summer and Spring Drama Day Camps as well as the 2014 Calgary Region One-Act Play Festival.
In addition to being an actor and instructor, Piper has studied visual art from a young age and has a passion for painting, and drawing. Piper continues to expand herself as an artist through participating in theatre however she can – whether on stage, in the audience, in workshops, or behind the scenes.
