Instructor: Brent Cornelius (he/him) discovered his passion for improv in 2013 on the Georgia Tech improv troupe Let's Try This. Since then, he has continuously performed and studied under a variety of theaters and instructors, the mainstays being DSI, Mettlesome, ComedyWorx, and The PIT (Chapel Hill). He currently performs with Mettlesome's musical improv team Singamajig and Harold team No Consequences, as well as ComedyWorx's Armando team Capital City Culture Club and Black Sheep Comedy's Improvised Horror Movie.

He wants to dig deep into the art of improv and see things from every angle. He not only desires to continuously grow as a performer, but to share what he learns with others.
