iMPROV

Location: Rhino Studio 237         

 

Course Description                         

 

Course Focus: An intermediate course designed to help students develop confidence in social situations and public speaking forums through the use of improvisation games and techniques. Perfect for those who have already taken an Improv course at The Academy who want to expand on and develop this critical life and theatre skill.

 

Improvisation is a form of live theatre in which the plot, characters and dialogue of a game, scene or story are made up in the moment.  Often improvisers will take a suggestion from the audience, or draw on some other source of inspiration to get started. Improvisation, while spontaneous, entertaining, and fun, also teaches social conduct, problem solving, empathy, quick thinking and public speaking.  All these tools are valuable life skills.  The class will end in a celebration via a Facebook Live event performance with interaction from the “audience”.
