Class Description:
Emily’s teaching motto is “growth only happens when you are willing to step outside your comfort zone.” In this class, we are working at getting comfortable onstage and stepping into bravery while having fun doing it. We will be learning to have compassion for ourselves and our classmates as performers as we learn the fundamentals of improvisation and develop support and spontaneity. Together, we will learn the importance of “yes and-ing,” heightening the absurdity, and raising the stakes. We will also cover the differences between short form and long form improv. This is a short form class. (Think: “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”)
