About this Event
Welcome to the wonderful world of improv comedy!
Could you imagine yourself:
- More confident?
- Connecting better with other people?
- Comfortable in unexpected situations?
- Making up things on the spot?
We know that you can, and this class will show you how! Learn the fundamentals of improv comedy with two skilled and supportive instructors. We'll play some very silly games, learn how to create characters, explore techniques to collaborate and create as a team, and even perform full improvised scenes together!
Of course, you won't be facing this new experience alone - you'll be learning these new skills with a team of new improvisers, and by the end you'll be ready to put on a showcase for your friends, family, and fans!
