Event Overview

 


Welcome to the most thoughtful, intelligent fun & play you will ever know: improvisation.


SEPT 26th & 27th, 6-9pm [a two-night series!]


Remember playing as a child? Studies have proven that children have a high sense of play until about age 6, when self-judgment and critique set in. Improvisational and collaborative games help us untether the negative facets of adult life that hinder our creativity. Incredible teachers will lead you through a light-hearted and life-skills rich 2 night workshop.


Want to try it but unsure of your skills? We welcome everyone. This is class for those who classify themselves as non-improvisers looking to cultivate presence and joy in their every day lives. Open to all, this class is part practical application of exercises and part bohemian methodology of this very popular art form. Get better at work, home, and creative flow. Say “yes, and” to life and try improv with other folks, with no pressure to be a performer
