Teen Improv is a high-energy improvisational comedy class where students will learn the fundamentals of improv performance while creating hilarious moments, characters, and scenes. This class teaches students the techniques that make improvisation fun, collaborative, and successful. Through games, scene work, and ensemble exercises, students will learn how to listen and respond in the moment, say “yes, and,” support their scene partners, make bold choices, and build creative ideas together as a team. Students will discover that great improv is not about “being naturally funny”, but rather it’s about learning the techniques, patterns, and collaborative mindset that allow performers to create confident, spontaneous comedy together. Most class sessions will focus on playing short-form improv games while gradually building the skills needed for strong improvisational performance. At the end of the semester, family and friends will be invited to a live improv show on the final day of class featuring some of the students’ favorite games – a completely original, unforgettable showcase of hilarity!
