CORE IMPROV SKILLS
"Yes, And": The golden rule of improv — accepting what your scene partner says ("yes") and adding to it ("and").
Listening and Responding: Active listening so you can respond naturally and stay in the moment.
Making Strong Offers: How to initiate scenes with clear ideas, characters, or emotions.
Supportive Collaboration: Building scenes together rather than competing for laughs or control.
CREATIVITY AND SPONTANEITY
Thinking on Your Feet: Developing the ability to respond quickly and creatively.
Letting Go of Perfection: Embracing mistakes as opportunities and reducing self-judgment.
Imagination Exercises: Using prompts and games to stretch your creativity.
This isn't just a great skill for acting, it's a great skill for life. Come have some fun and learn IMPROV from one of the best in the business.
