  • Adult Improv

    Improvisation is likely to be known as a performance form that allows for audience participation, is based in comedy, and is only for the very quick-witted. Improvisation, however, is a truly adaptable art-form that is proven to be an effective tool onstage and off for many different age groups and levels of experience. In other words, while it can be highly entertaining, improvisation is much more than "being funny". The tenets of improvisation - namely saying yes to accepting ideas without judgement, creating a safe atmosphere and listening - have made this form important to actors and non-actors alike. For actors, improvisation is an effective tool for creating a workplace that is focused on creative ideas, free communication and teamwork. Improv is adaptable to all ages and performance backgrounds from the very young to those who have never been onstage. The rules of engagement crucial to a successful improvisation scene are crucial to connecting with other people or getting them to hear your ideas. The exercises are adaptable to all levels because they are very simple, clear in focus, and able to be performed by participants of all physical abilities. Participating in an improv class can be enriching, effective and above all, fun!
