Intro to Improv
This class is limited to 16 students.
First time taking an improv class? You’re in the right place.
This class will introduce new improvisers to the value of saying “Yes, and” to every idea (especially their own) to become joyful, fearless, and bold performers. Through games and exercises this class will teach students to react emotionally and honestly, to trust your gut, to support scene partners and embrace taking risks. These skills are essential to successful improvisation!

This class culminates in a performance for the public.

Testimonials:
Onyi is amazing and I loved learning and playing with her. She took the time to give feedback even after our final show which I personally found to be above and beyond and very much appreciated.
Positive, encouraging, kind, great at providing feedback. Really emphasized the importance of connecting with classmates outside of class, which I appreciate
Onyi’s level 1 class was a great introduction to improv. I love her approach to teaching building scenes brick by brick with scene partners and appreciated her always constructive feedback as we practice.
