An ongoing class for ages 11 – adult…beginners welcome!
What is improv?
Improvisation, or improv, is a form of live theatre in which the plot, characters and dialogue of a game, scene or story are made up in the moment. Often improvisers will take a suggestion from the audience, or draw on some other source of inspiration to get started. It is fun and requires no memorization or theatrical training. All ages welcome. This drop in class is the perfect place for absolute beginners and non-theater geeks to get acquainted with the joy of improvisation. Every week we will play in a safe and positive environment with group exercises and scene work. Come to all the classes or just “drop in” when you can!
