No acting or performing skills are required: just a desire to have fun, trust your instincts, and learn new ways to communicate and collaborate! Our fun & engaging classes are geared toward anyone new to the practice of improvisation as well as for those who'd like to re-learn or continue to practice the basics of the art form. Together, we'll learn:
- How to use various kinds of listening
- How to stay in the moment
- How to spontaneously tell a story with others
- How to think on our feet & trust our instincts
- How to quickly collaborate with others
- How to learn and use non-verbal communication
- How to discover & overcome our social/emotional "blind spots"
- How playing with others allows us to discover our strengths
OUR CLASSES ARE CAPPED AT 10 PARTICIPANTS! Fewer students = more personalized feedback and time to work.
PREREQUISITES: None. Classes are suitable for ages 15+
