*Classes run for 6 weeks: every Monday 6-8pm from 9/22-10/27
In this six-week series class, led by Krystal Osborne, you will learn all the necessary tools of building dialogue, characters, and scenes, spontaneously! This class is perfect for all levels of performers wanting to hone their skills. We will focus on our active listening skills, expanding our ability to play physically and emotionally, and adding specificity to our choices. We will refine the ability to be present and in the moment, by focusing on details, taking risks, trusting instincts, and getting out of our heads. Whether you're new to improv, or would like a refresher course, this class is perfect for all.
Classes run for 6 weeks: every Monday 6-8pm from 9/22-10/27.
