What's included
1 live meeting
1 in-class hoursClass Experience
This class will be a beginning to intermediate dive into some fun long form improv skills, including games, exercises and scenes, as well as scene work to teach basic script analysis and acting fundamentals. We will begin with improv warm ups and games, and begin to build a scene together, and then move into script analysis and scene work on a comedic scene. My teaching will come in the form of modeling, doing exercises with the students, and facilitating them in exercises together. My teaching is up beat, and quick paced, but also with time needed for those who need more time! Learners must come with an open mind, accepting attitude, and be willing to laugh at themselves and have fun!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Topics may come up in improv scenes for teens involving sensitive matters, since the scenes are unscripted and I will not know what they will say ahead of time. I will do my best to guide us to affirming, brief and healthy discussion if warranted and or steer us in another direction.
