Improv Classes
Are you ready to dive deeper into improvisational theater? Do you feel like you have a pretty good understanding of the foundational tenets of improv from Saturday Morning Live? Then jump into one of our Intermediate or Advanced Improv Classes taught by the one and only Eileen Burke Woodward!
Creating the Magic
In this class, we’ll learn and practice the skills in improv that create a magical experience for you and your audience. We’ll work on physicality, creating and interacting in the environment, taking our time, and building a scene brick by brick. Learning these magical skills will take your improv to a whole new level! This class is best taken as a series, but drop in works, too.
Character Class
Learn different entry points (physical, emotional, status, playing others) to quickly find and grow your character in scene work. As you learn and practice these techniques, you will see how easy it is for a character to come alive in a scene.
