Who Will Benefit:

Students of varying ages and acting experience could potentially take this introductory course.  Actors and prospective actors alike who are interested in exploring the craft of improvisational acting and comedy would benefit from this stimulating, interactive class.  Actors looking to improve their acting technique would profit greatly from this course as learning the essentials of good scenic improv encourages a more relaxed and focused approach to acting onstage and in potentially nerve-racking auditions.  Lay people who are interested in exploring the performing arts would experience what it's like to perform in front of others.  Also welcome would be individuals who are simply looking to have fun "playing" in scenic games and meeting others in a highly supportive, creative atmosphere.  Even if an individual has no desire to perform in front of an audience, the techniques taught in this introductory improvisation class will lead to more effective communication skills in social and workplace environments and a greater appreciation for being a team player in the home or office.  This class will assist anyone looking to express themselves more creatively and coherently.  The results are always fun, entertaining, invigorating, inspiring and, at times, cathartic.
