Unlock your ideas, boost your confidence and get more play into your life with this 8-week introduction to theatrical and comedy improvisation (improv) as experienced teacher Carla guides you through the fundamentals. We'll be playing games, creating stories together, and learning to make each other laugh, all in a safe, supportive environment.
You don’t need any drama, acting, comedy or improv experience. Neither do you need to consider yourself funny either - in fact, the best improv comes from what we might consider very ordinary!
