Previous Courses and Descriptions

Open Level Improv

Say YES to the weird world of improv! Practice trusting yourself, supporting your scene partners and going with the flow! Yes, all this is super helpful in life blah blah blah, but it’s also FUN! You’ll start with group warm-ups and short-form games that trick you into getting out of your head and thinking on your feet. From there, we’ll then dive into scene work, establishing the action, location, relationships and wants early on so that we can get to the fun stuff, like weird characters and finding the game. The class will culminate with a casual, in-class show, performing some short-form games and a montage set.
