Improv Drop-In Class

These “drop-in” classes are perfect for students who might not have a schedule that allows for an entire 8-week session. During each class, students can gain more confidence, more creativity, and more playfulness with the basic improv skills of listening, reacting, working with others, and trusting oneself. Whether students “drop-in” for just one of these workshops, the whole series, or anywhere in between, they will get a small taste of how the art and fun of improv can impact life in a positive way. Each workshop is different, but all will contain fun group games, skill enhancement exercises, and short form performance play.

Playback Theatre – Drop-In Class

These “drop-in” classes are perfect for students who might not have a schedule that allows for an entire 8-week session. During each class, students will experience and practice the art of Playback Theatre, which is a unique form of improvised theatre wherein performers take personal experiences from audience members and elevate those true stories into spontaneous theatre. Whether students “drop-in” for just one of these workshops, the whole series, or anywhere in between, they will use their improv skills in fresh ways, while learning new tools they can apply to all of their improv work. Heightened listening and emotional connection converge in this artistically satisfying story-driven format that builds community for all involved.
