Theatre Improvisation

Ellen Graham
This energetic class will give middle school students the skills needed to improvise. Through structured exercises they will learn to think on their feet, invent characters and situations, and learn new movement skills. This is a great introduction class for any student interested in theatre, as well as being valuable for students with some theatre background. Students will also learn how to apply these skills to prepare for real-life situations such as public speaking.
