People of many backgrounds rave about her ability to help them connect to themselves in new and exciting ways. HER STUDENTS SAY THIS: “I had been avoiding situations, especially social ones that involve speaking, for a long time. Somewhere along the way, I forgot how to just let go and have fun. Let me tell you - as an adult, I found fun again at Be Here Now Improv. I laughed with people I just met and awakened a light inside of me. It can be a shaky first step, walking over the line of comfort, but I soon realized it was such a freeing step to take. I’ll be back for more growth and of course, more fun!” -Raqi DeView, Pinehurst, N.C. “In life I can get nervous about saying the wrong thing, but it’s impossible to mess up when I do improv. I never realized how much fun it would be to play pretend with adults. In Improv with Anoo I get to be authentically myself with no judgment! I love that feeling of being able to be unashamedly silly.” ~Carlee Wintermute, Raleigh, N.C. “Me and my husband took the workshop together. After learning “Yes, And” our relationship and communication really improved. It helped me have a new outlook on life and what I believe is possible in the world.” -J.Scharer, Salem, Oregon
