Kids Classes
Why kids’ improv classes?
With improv, kids learn how to:
Be positive
Become more creative
Focus on the people they’re working with
Take risks
Overcome shyness
These classes create a fun and supportive environment for kids to learn the basics of creating improv, story telling, and stagecraft. The classes are taught primarily through games, play, and improved stories.
Class Descriptions:
Creative Play - Pre-schoolers get to exercise their thirst for dramatic play. We use the principles of Improv to teach basic stagecraft, story telling, team work, comedy and dramatic rythym. And we have a whole lot of fun!
Play and Improv – The kids will have a blast learning the fundamentals of Improv, stage craft, storytelling and teamwork. Every week we will learn new games that teach while having a great time.
Story Dramatization – Based on the Process Drama movement, each class starts with a short “hook” activity, and then builds as students and teacher improvise an entirely new story together.
Fundamentals of Improv – Learn how be positive, take risks, and focus on the people you’re working with. This class will be a fun and supportive environment for kids to start focusing on what makes improv work.
Talk Show Madness – Middle-schoolers love to talk, so this class gives them the chance to hone presentation and acting skills in the roles of host, guest star, commercial presenter, and more, all while researching and creating character profiles for the parts they’ll improvise during a show.
Improv Skills Teens will start honing improv skills like understanding their role in a team, saying “yes!”, narrative construction, public speaking skills, and enhancing creativity in this fast-paced and exciting class. We will learn improv games as well as begin to focus on scene work and learn the art of long form improv.
