Happy September! I'm feeling excited to start another school year which means you get a limited time offer to try one free class; but this month only! Just use code WOOLVBKTOSCHOOL25 when you enrol in any of my classes (except 1-Day) during September.

Create 10 worlds, roll the "World Dice" and see where we end up!   

We will create imaginative settings with improvisation world-building exercises and then explore  those worlds on a 5 day adventure, acting and roleplay. 

We'll create characters and plots, improvise whole scenes within those worlds and have a heck of a lot of fun doing it. Improv is a great way to spark your imagination and go anywhere you want go and be anyone you want to be... While actually learning communication, teamwork and performance skills through a fun and crazy confidence-building saga.

Wherever we end up we will cover collaboration, acceptance, association, listening, respecting your fellow performers as well as acting, characterization, mime, being physical, playing with emotions, focus, concentration and, of course, confidence. The number one thing I hear from parents is how much my acting classes help with confidence.

I have one main rule in all my improv classes: There are no bad ideas! Your learner will quickly discover confidence and enthusiasm in their own ideas and suggestions and they will come away feeling inspired.

I teach in very fast and fun way, getting the learners active and immediately. We learn by doing. For example, if a skill requires 5 steps: I do not explain all the steps in advance. Instead we start with step one and then we all jump in immediately and try it. I am also a soccer coach and I structure my classes like my practices so they feel more active and keep your learner busy. 

Generally every class:

1) Starts with a quick warm-up group game
2) Then we roll the world dice to see where we'll end up
3) Another group improv game to create the world
4) Then we start creating characters and scenes and explore fun and silly stories made up on the spot!
