Improv B.A.S.I.C.'s is the 5 keys guidelines of Improv. We cover these through multiple games and exercises designed to practice good form. We always start with fun warm-ups and then dive right into the interactive learning portion. I have simplified the desciptions of games and exercises so there there is little lecture time and more performing. I team up learners in two to three participant at a time and give them skills to practice. I am an engaging instructor that enjoys teaching. I use a evaluation formula that gives genuine praise and positive feedback for improvemnet. I will give the learners various scenareos and explain the objective of each game. They will act out each excersise with one or more partners. beginners or experienced improver are welcome.
