Improv for Teens

Join us for fun and play! In this eight week course we will learn the rules of scene work, building characters, supporting our classmates and trusting our ideas. We will work on letting go of our instinct to be self conscious, and build confidence in a safe environment where everyone is supported. Learning and performing improv will build skills and confidence that are useful both on and off stage. All skill and experience levels are welcome! Join us for eight weeks of fun and creating! 

This class is designed to give young actors a foundational knowledge of acting principles and practice working with comedic and dramatic texts. In an open and comfortable learning environment, students will explore ways to find the fun story of a scene. Class will use games and exercises to help build the reality of the world, create a character’s perspective and motivation, and explore the arc of their relationships. Students will study acting fundamentals including blocking, story arc, character development and also the exploration of audition technique and acting for stage and film. We will learn that there’s no way to do it right, there is the personal way of each actor. and that all the play we explore in class fits right into the world of an audition! The goal of this class is to encourage new and returning actors to go into their Showcase, classes and beyond with a firm, confident foundation under their feet and a hunger to learn and play more. A $50 deposit is required to hold a space in the class.
