Improvised creativity comes so naturally to us as children, but we often lose sight of its value as adults. Improv comedy training can help us begin to once again work out those creative "muscles", leading to more confident social interactions, stronger professional and personal relationships, and a regular outlet for joy in our lives.
Drawing from eight years and thousands of hours of teaching and coaching experience, our four-level long-form comedic improv curriculum is designed to inspire compelling, character driven scene work. Each level is eight weeks long, culminating in a showcase show in front of a live audience.
Level 2 will take the fundamental lessons from Level 1 and expand on them to take scenes from good to great. We look at scene dynamics, joyful discovery, specificity, and multiple-person scenes.
Previous improv acting experience preferred.
Prices: $235 for YAC members / $250 for non-members
Online registration ends at 5 pm on January 23rd
