Looking at human behavior and the dynamics between people through an improv lens is fun and fascinating. Playing a character that deepens and enriches a scene, even if it is very different or even opposite of who we are in real life, strengthens the psychological "muscles" for risk-taking, tolerating uncertainty, and collaboration, which grows our capacity to improvise but also our emotional intelligence in real life. If you've never played a villain, now is your chance! If the scene needs a good villain, you can explore what makes them "tick." We might even have a family of villains, each with their own quirks and wants and a specific family dynamic. 

The creative "stretch" that is possible through playing a range of different characters in improv scenes activates imagination, out-of-the-box thinking, and the sense of possibility that makes improv so much fun to do and compelling to watch. We can create characters that have distinct quirks, behaviors, philosophies, and wants to explore different perspectives and human experiences. 

Through exercises that target specific behaviors and emotional states, we will uncover relationships, connections, and dynamics that bring these characters to life.

Improv is a unique way to tap your spontaneity and creative energy. It is inspiring and most of all, a ton of fun.  This class series is designed for anyone who wants to try improv, from absolute beginners to more advanced participants who want to renew the foundational skills of improv, revisit some familiar games and learn new ones. It is an opportunity to experience the creativity boost, sense of possibility and joy that arises from these experiences. We will focus on the basics and the skills develop with practice.

 Improv is a powerful and effective method of communication, connection, and community-building. Most importantly, it can activate positive emotions that can make us more resilient and effective in real life. Join us!
