Vanessa Nezamloo

Vanessa holds an AB Speech and Theatre Arts degree and a Masters in Education. She was a former Theatre Arts and Speech Communication teacher at Silliman University in the Philippines. She has directed stage plays such as Into the Woods (a musical comedy fairy tale mashup in two acts), Private Lives, New Yorker in Tondo, Teen Angel, Trysting Place, Women of the Bible Monologues, among others. Vanessa joined the Conservatory of Performing Arts in the spring of 2016 and has taught a variety of theatre classes since then. These include, The Olympians (Stage Combat and Fight Choreography), Creative Drama Studio, Story to Stage, Showtime, and Visual Art 101: Fantasy Worlds. Stage Combat class performances have a wide variety of themes, from medieval black death, to Spanish conquistadores, gladiators, and others. Creative Drama Studio’s brainstorming leads them to perform a genre and an original story created by the kids themselves, each story different from other previous classes. A few of the plays she directed for Showtime includes, 1-Act copyrighted plays like 10 Ways to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse, What Happens After Once Upon a Time, Mother Goosed, among others. Most recently, she has directed virtual plays like Do You Read Me?, Virtual Complaint Department, and others. Whenever she has time, Vanessa loves to do anything DIY!
