An entry point to improvisational theater with no prior experience required! Class participants will be introduced to the foundational principles and practices of improv, including active listening, ensemble building, accepting and advancing offers, and staying present in the moment. Students will learn how to support scene partners, make strong choices under pressure, and develop trust within a group.
Each course is structured around a series of exercises and short-form scenes designed to build these skills progressively. The work throughout this series lays out the groundwork for more advanced study in performance, devised theatre, and collaborative storytelling.
