Theatrical Improvisation Class (Recreation Department)

Posted by Cudahy School District on Jan. 1, 2009

Recreation Department, Theatrical Improvisation

Ages 13-25

Everyone enjoys laughing and making others laugh. One form of theater that brings laughter to people is
improvisation. It is a style of theater where actors create and perform unscripted scenes.

This is an introductory improv class, where you will be taught the building blocks of improv, by listening, character building and teamwork. We will play various games to immerse all participants in the improv style. We will focus on long form improv, a style where the games or scenes last for several minutes. Everyone will work towards building a firm foundation of improv skills, and hopefully gain an appreciation of improv, and make lasting friendships.

There is a wide range of benefits for people who get involved with improv. For those with an acting background, this class will give you another tool to use on stage. For those who are more introverted, improv is a great way to loosen up in front of others and build confidence, while having fun!

Participants need to bring a sense of humor and their imagination. There are a lot of funny people out there,
all they need is an outlet!
