Improv (A One Day Pop Up Workshop)      

Rising 9th to rising 12th grade
9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Cost: $40 

This one day workshop is designed to introduce students to an essential aspect of stagecraft. Students will be able to create characters, challenge their imagination and focus on teamwork and communication in a low-pressure environment using improv. Students will be led in basic games and exercises that are meant to be fun for newcomers as well as allow more experienced performers to challenge themselves while still having fun. This class is perfect for students who may have other activities that they are involved with this summer and don’t necessarily have the time to memorize lines outside of class or for those who become bored with repetition. (Bring lunch and stay for our Commedia Dell’arte FRIENDS workshop at 1:00 PM)
