CSz Level 2: Strengthening Scenework and Skills
This 8-week series focuses on strengthening your improv fundamentals through reps, feedback, and play. Each class we’ll be dedicating time to diving deeper into the who, what, and where of improvisation, working on base scene work, getting to the point, and building characters and relationships.
An emphasis will be placed on learning to trust yourself, story structure, developing your improv vocabulary and toolkit, and ensemble building. The skills learned in this class will transfer to almost any improv experience and will strengthen all the soft-skill development from Level 1. Gain and build on the confidence you need before performing the final session for an invited audience of friends and family.
Upcoming dates: TBD

Your whole family will have a blast working together learning the useful and exciting skills improvisers use, while learning games and fun exercises you can play long after class is over.
