Level 1: Improv Fundamentals
This fun and exciting level uses short form games and improv exercises to help students master the all-important fundamentals of improvisational theater. If you have some improv experience, you will build skills and master the basic by revisiting them with a fresh perspective. If you have never been on a stage before in your life - these exercises will help you build confidence, learn to think quickly on your feet and give you a taste of the magic of improvisation. Either way - you will have a blast while learning incredibly important skills that will benefit you on stage as well as in every day life.
