Beginner Level
In this high-energy improv class designed just for middle schoolers, students will jump into the world of improv through interactive games and activities that teach core skills like saying "Yes, and...", establishing a clear scene with a "who, what, and where," and supporting scene partners to make every scene a success. We'll begin with some warmups to get our creative energy flowing, then play improv games that emphasize each aspect of improv. Once we've honed our skills, we'll improvise scenes. Just like improv, this workshop is all about collaboration, creativity, and quick thinking—and it’s packed with fun!
