Train their brains to think outside the box.
Be bold, specific, and embrace failing gloriously.
Practice taking up space, radical support, and giving focus.
Develop a new awareness of elocution, phrasing, and delivery.
Incorporate more cultural references into their performances.
Try something new, challenging, and outrageously fun,
Your Instructor: Skel Harrington (They/them)
Skelly and Improv Comedy met in 2010 at a small intro class. Since then, Skel has performed short form and long form in states across the USA, improvising on formats based on everything from card games to Ken Burns documentaries. They are the creator and producer of such shows as The Gauntlet, Dropped Notes, Cheeky Shorts, and more. Their improv superpowers are all-out-enthusiasm, whimsical goofitude, and musical improv (which is their very favorite both to perform, teach, and produce.) They believe in improv as a craft that helps us bring out the best in ourselves, celebrate one another, and make the world a better place with new and better stories—together.
