This class is designed for anyone who wants to try improv, from absolute beginners to more advanced participants who want to renew the foundational skills of improv, revisit some familiar games and learn new ones. It is an opportunity to experience the creativity boost, sense of possibility and joy that arises from these experiences. We will focus on the basics, which generate creative energy, radical encouragement and support within the group, and more laughs that you can possibly predict. It’s comedy that we make ourselves, and reap the benefits in feeling inspired and uplifted.
