IN PERSON: Want to have fun with others while expanding your creativity and sense of joy? Improv is a theater art form in which you live in the moment. You won't need the cleverness found in "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" We'll play specially tailored games/exercises where there are no mistakes. This course approaches improv with a "yes, and" attitude. You'll see where improv applies to life and how a mindfulness approach can be used to free yourself to play. We’ll use some easy-to-learn tools to help you build on your life experiences and maybe even find that inner comic you didn’t know existed. No prior experience is necessary, just a willingness to have fun with others. This course involves active physical participation/movement, including frequently alternating between standing and sitting. Masks will be required to be worn during class at all times. | Active Skill Learning.
Max enrollment: 10.
Location: Judea Reform Congregation, 1933 W. Cornwallis Rd, Durham NC 27705
