Class Experience

Improvisational theater, or improv, is a technique used by actors and comedians to create funny and memorable scenes on the spot. 

Improv offers many benefits, including improving communication skills, boosting creativity, and building confidence. Improv exercises involve quick thinking, listening, and responding, which can help individuals to become better communicators in various settings, from social interactions to public speaking. Improv gives kids a platform to explore their creativity, generating unique ideas and perspectives. The supportive and non-judgmental nature of improv can also help children to feel more confident, both on and off stage. Improv is a fun and rewarding activity that provides a unique set of skills that can be applied to all areas of life.

In this class, learners will learn from a graduate of the conservatory program at the famous Second City Theater whose alumni include famous actors and comedians like Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, and Mike Meyers. Learners will learn the same techniques that these successful performers use on stage, on television, and in movies.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I teach classes related to comedy and humor including sketch comedy, improv, and satire writing.

I'm an improvisor, comedian, and writer who has written professionally for web series, comic strips, and satirical publications like McSweeney's. I've been fortunate to graduate from the Second City's renowned Conservatory Program. - with leading comedy actors and writers including Kevin McDonald of TV's The Kids in the Hall and the movie Lilo & Stitch. 

I believe that comedy has the ability to improve skills like interpersonal communication and writing as well as boost students' confidence. Whether a learner is the "class clown" or someone who is a bit more quiet, I aim to create a learning environment where they can have fun, gain confidence and learn new skills.
 
I have a bachelor of arts degree and a master's degree in business.
