For: Intermediate improvisers who are in their head from the jump
Class Description: This class will focus on our approach to improv regardless of style or structure. We’ll explore the way scenes start, how we enter to serve the scene, and we’ll expand our collective improv vocabulary while honing existing skills in the pursuit of being a confident and giving improviser.
