Classes

In my years of teaching Improv and acting, I have seen shy kids blossom, quiet kids become leaders, new kids find their people, and lost kids find themselves. Regardless of their background, kids thrive in this freeing environment where feeling successful is as simple as getting up to participate and supporting others, which are important skills for Improv as well as everyday life. While most kids take the class to have fun with their friends, improved self-confidence, creativity, and focusing skills are added benefits.

I have taught Improv and acting to children from ages four through 18. With time, support, and practice, I have seen kids from all age groups work together to nimbly create fantastic scenes from mere suggestions. Using the skills they have learned in class to work with others and create something bigger than themselves provides students with a deep sense of accomplishment.

2026 YOUTH and TEEN IMPROV

Regardless of background or experience, kids will thrive in this imaginative and creative environment where feeling accomplished is as simple as participating and supporting others. While many people take improv to have fun with their friends, other benefits include boosting self-confidence and strengthening focus, skills that are useful for success in both improv and in life.

Each session starts with a few simple warm-ups followed by playing improv games, then a cool-down game before leaving. They will have the opportunity to participate in many different types of games such as guessing, advising, scene development, and more. Most importantly, Improv is a lot of fun!

Whether you are looking for something fun to do, would like to be more comfortable in front of an audience, or just love Improv, this course is for you! Learning Improv is a great way to express yourself in a supportive and safe environment. While most students take the course to have a good time, improved self-confidence, creativity, and focusing skills are added benefits.

The more you practice and understand how to support your scene partners through listening, working toward resolution, and, of course, following the number one rule of Improv, “Yes, and”, the more these actions weave themselves into your everyday life. While these skills are important in Improv, they will also provide you with the tools to move any scene, relationship, project, or idea forward. “Yes and” is where Improv begins, where it will lead is up to you.

Improv is a fun way to break the ice, but it is so much more than that. It can be utilized as an invaluable tool to increase productivity by strengthening focus and listening skills as well as address issues of fear from stage fright or social anxiety.

Improv’s driving force, “Yes, and”, encourages teamwork by illustrating that the best way to solve any conflict is to be a supportive partner. This is accomplished by first listening, then collaboratively adding to an idea. In Improv, conflict and passion make any scene interesting, however, the goal of productive communication in both Improv and business is always to work toward a resolution.

Your team will have fun learning the skills to communicate and move forward in a positive and productive way which is a long-term and invaluable investment.

I am able to tailor this course to your needs. It is possible to teach Improv to large or small groups. If you are looking for a more personalized, all hands-on experience, this course is best taught in groups that range from six to twelve.

For rates and any further questions please contact me at letsdoimprov@gmail.com and I will get back to you promptly.
