Improvisational Acting

This course uses the craft of improvisational acting to: foster team building, exercise spontaneity, sharpen focus and increase listening skills, solve problems, build from nothing, recognize and develop basic elements of storytelling – including plot, character development, and theme; stretch creative imagination, and encourage students to overcome inhibitions when communicating publicly and working with others. With the focus on taking risks and exploring moment to moment, improvisation allows the student to access once again the aspect of self that creates in the form of play. By placing the emphasis on creation rather than performance, the student is able to focus on the application of skills rather than achievement – the result is a fun, relaxing and creatively stimulating environment.
