Learn the skills of improvisation, including scene creation and team dynamics at Improve Your Improv on Thursdays, Aug. 21 through Oct. 2 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Music Barn.

Instructor Kyle Tasch returns to The Farms to teach this popular course, which will be jam-packed with improvisational fun that uses both short-form games and long-form scenes.

This will not be a class to sit down, hear lectures, and take notes.  Students will be performing as much as possible to emphasize the mechanics needed to act out an entertaining and meaningful scene on the spot with no lines. There are many elements of improv that are not only useful on stage, but also in everyday life – wherever you might be put on the spot!

Students who have already completed this class are welcome to join again. Beginners and those experienced in improv are all encouraged to join!

$100/person for the entire series here or $25/class at the links below. Registration will close on Aug. 18 for the entire series or two days before each subsequent class.
