Improv Classes
YES,
AND!
Benefits of improv
The main rule of improv is "Yes, And" for good reason - it highlights the importance of working together and building something positive from that foundation. Without that teamwork & agreement, the whole thing falls apart! Being able to recognize offers through active listening then creating something together are skills that transcend performance and seep into everyday life.
Improv isn't all about being funny (although we do have A LOT of fun) - many of our students enroll in our classes to gain more confidence in public speaking, to enhance their communication skills, and to boost their creativity. Studies have shown that improv also helps to reduce anxiety, stress, and uncertainty intolerance. Whether your end goals are to perform or to just gain more soft skills, we are here to support you every step of the way!
See below for our upcoming class list to start (or continue) your improv journey today!
