The Freedom of Improvisation Middle School/High School Workshop

The idea of “improvisation” is often surrounded with a lot of mystery. Why do we do it? Why are some people better at it than others? Does it really help you become a better actor? In this workshop through a series of exercises and games we will explore how improvisation can be a great tool to take your acting to a whole new level. Along the way we will discover that improvisation can be beneficial and enjoyable for everyone.
