Improv Workshop for Teens and Adults

In-person

Never done improvisation before? Think again! We improvise every day. But how can you best utilize your skills of observation to contribute to the conversation? Join this improv workshop to learn more from instructor Joan Weber about:
W3 – Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
TLC – Trust, Listen, Commit

This 2-hour workshop teaches how to employ the improvisational rule of “Yes, And…” into not only the setting of theater, but of life – including the workplace and the home space. Learn the basic skills of improvisation or hone your intermediate skills. The workshop will engage in interactive game playing that reinforces the themes, "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? Trust/Listen/Commit" and conclude in a short group "performance" followed by a pizza party!
