NEW!Adventures in Improv w/ Tasha Haverty
Ages 7 - 12 :: 8 week program
Wednesdays :: 4 - 6 p.m. :: Sept 15 - November 3
Unlike an improv class for adults, an improv class for kids has the two most important things already covered: knowing how to play and using the imagination! Using this jump start, we'll play games and do exercises (we'll even create some of our own) to learn the basics of improvisation, but also learn what makes the best kind of play so fun. We'll explore themes like character, relationship, listening, working as a group, and more. Improvisation is a great introduction to performance, but it's also a great way for any kid to play, even "non-actor" kids! The class will culminate in an intimate performance for family on the final week (time TBD).
