IMPROV THEATER with Ben and Liz, ages 11-adult | September 13 – October 4
Improv theater is the practice of building a scene or a story one piece at a time, in the moment, without any planning or scripting. Working with a group of others, or by yourself, you create a supportive environment where anything goes. It’s a joyous, uplifting, and deeply rewarding exercise where you can learn about yourself and have fun in the process.
This is a four week class, where you’ll develop your understanding of the shared fundamentals of improv theater. We’ll explore these fundamentals through improv exercises, games, and scenes, in a supportive and safe environment. The skills you’ll learn are:
- Accepting and giving offers
- Being open to change
- Embracing failure
- How to play!
This workshop series is perfect for beginning improvisers (people who have never had any training), and intermediate improvisers (people with some training).
