Do you like being funny? Do you like performing? Do you like to pretend to be an alien who is trying to teach a class on what socks taste the best? Come and hop in our Improv for Beginners class! In one class you will be able to use your voice to project across the room, create a character, and fill your house with laughs! Through games, exercises, and practice, learners will be able to understand and use the basic tools of improv in just one class. Students will also be taught body awareness, using their voice, and listening to each other. That’s what improv and acting are, it's listening to each other.
Learning Goals
By the end of this lesson, each student will have a better understanding of the basic rules of Improv, how to work with another person, and how to use their voice and project.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
In order to have fun and be safe during this class, I recommend :
- Wearing clothes that allow you to move around
- Wearing shoes/sneakers. I would not recommend sandals! Sandals make it easier for you to trip when performing!
- Having an area in your house where you can move around safely. We don't want you to run into or hit or break anything.
- Always have water! You will be using your voice and body, and you must stay hydrated. While this isn't a "sport" it does require moving around.
Supply List
A space to move around.
