Improv-Wise!
‘Intro to Improv' works on the student's ability to improvise on the spot! Improvisational theatre, often called improvisation or improv, is the form of performance, in which most or all of what is performed is unplanned or unscripted, created spontaneously by the performers. Improvisational theatre is a skill that requires thinking on your feet, honing a creative mindset and sparking your imagination to bring to life quirky characters and stories through scene work and interactive games. Some of the most iconic film lines we know were in fact thought of on the spot by the actors!
On the last day, a small audience can come in to enjoy some improv by the students!
