Description
Our Intro to Improv workshops provide a thorough introduction to improvisational theater, and not only is it super informative, but it’s also a ton of fun! Here, we’ll cover the basics of narrative storytelling, unrehearsed acting, working as an ensemble, and exploring impulse, spontaneity, & thinking on our feet! Whether you’re a newbie, hobbyist, or a serious, aspiring professional, we’re eager to help you accomplish your goals, whatever they may be! Best of all, no experience is needed, and adults & mature teens are welcome!
