Improv is totally unscripted, totally exciting, and totally fun. This class will teach the basics of improvised theater (with an emphasis on the longform style), in a studio setting that will promote creativity, spontaneity, and collaboration. Participants will create characters, situations, and stories out of thin-air in a positive and affirming environment that’s never serious, but is always seriously fun. Ages 18+.
Throughout the course, students will develop and improve performance skills. Students will work without a script through a number of activities that build great comic timing and confident quick thinking. All experience levels are welcome, and the class will be tailored to accommodate the abilities of its participants.
Why take this class? Improv is perfect for actors, yes, but also for anyone who speaks publicly: teachers, lawyers, politicians, businesspeople and anyone with a product to sell. Improv teaches you to think on your feet, make snap decisions, and to follow the Golden Improv Rule: to say “Yes” to life!
