Beginning Improv
Improvisation is more than just a useful tool for actors, it’s a different way of approaching life. Through fun games and exercises, students will gain more confidence, more creativity, and more playfulness with the basic improv skills of listening, reacting, working with others, and trusting oneself. Not only will it make you more comfortable while thinking on your feet, it’s really fun! This class is simply eight weeks of meeting and playing in an enjoyable, supportive environment without the pressure of a final performance.

I took my first improv class with Amanda, and I’m so glad I started with her. I walked into that class terrified – I had no acting experience and was rarely funny. She created an environment
where I felt encouraged and safe to be vulnerable (a rarity for me at that time)….I can also honestly say that her classes have changed my life outside of improv – I’m more open, more comfortable with failure and less stressed in social situations.
Just for Fun Online Improv Workshop

You’ll spend the entire class-time simply playing and having fun, as Amanda leads the group through both beloved classics and lesser known games.
