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.

Learn to act fun characters and create zany scenes in far away fantasy worlds while improvising. You can be who you want to be and create whatever kind of scene you want to... But how??? By jumping in and enrolling in this fast pace, energetic and hilariously ridiculous (but educational!) class. With improv you can make it as serious or as silly as you want and this introductory course is the perfect place to start. You will learn the core basics of improvising and get a feel for what my ongoing Theatre For Kids improv class is like. I have learners who have been taking that class for three years and counting!

Classes begin with a warm up (so make sure you have room to move) followed by a group game. Then we move onto specific improv skills with exercises aimed at some of the basic concepts: listening, offering, accepting, advancing, characters & unusual settings etc.  We finish every class by letting the students choose whether they would rather break into teams and compete in hilariously fun skit challenges (theatre sports), or continuing with the group game (sometimes the younger groups want to make sure everyone gets a turn).

Week 1: Introduction - ridiculous exercises around performance, acting, trust, collaborating and associating ideas
Week 2: Making and Accepting Offers - building scenes by really listening to your partner and exploring each other's ideas
Week 3: Characterization - Voice, body &  Mind: The character Party and the World's Worst!!
Week 4: Location and stagecraft - Creating invisible worlds and making the invisible visible
Week 5: Scene Structure and Storytelling - turning our little scenes into Big Stories


What often happens with this class is learners want to continue. My two ongoing classes to look for that continue from this introduction are:

Theatre For Kids Acting & Improv (9-12)
Sketch Comedy Live! (12-18)

I look forward to meeting your learner!
