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.

"The first and most important quality that I look for in a company is Professionalism! And I have to say that Studio 24 is that and all of the above. Cody definitely knows what he is doing and gives all of us (his students) great training and advice in our careers. I feel so blessed to be apart of the Studio 24 team and believing that I will get to where I want to be in my career in the film industry."
"I've been a student at Studio 24 since 2011 and I consider myself so lucky. They are so professional and they just want to see us as actors thrive and succeed. I can always ask them anything about this business because it's honest and genuine!"
