Comedy Improv for everyone!
This comedy improvisation workshop is a fun yet intense experience for the beginner or expert alike. It focuses on creative rapid-response exercises and spontaneous dialogue/role play. Students learn to create simple stories without scripting ahead of time. Participants learn to focus their listening and reactions. A great workshop for actors who are looking to expand their skills and develop spontaneity. This workshop is also great for nonactors who want to explore their dramatic imaginations. Participants will gain knowledge of how to work off their partners on stage in order to build an effective, interesting, and comical scene. Please wear clothes you’re comfortable moving around in.
