Improvisation & Acting For Life *In-Person*

Improvisation and acting are commonly associated with comedy and performance, but they're also great training for talking and listening, being in touch with feelings and situations and picking up on social cues, to name a few obvious applications in everyday life. This class will develop classic exercises from both traditions (acting and improvisation) in a playful spirit, and will include brief class conversations and reflections. The course is designed to be fun, thought-provoking, and to help foster an active sense of empathy and confidence. It's intended for both non-actors and actors interested in practicing spontaneity, ensemble work, or craft without a script. No experience is necessary: all are welcome.
