For parents: This course in improvisation will be excellent college prep for your kids. Your teenager will build self-confidence, become more articulate with physical and vocal expression, learn how to think on the spot, and practice the art of collaboration. Since the class takes place on a college campus, it will orient participants to college living. The learning environment, following our over thirty years of experience, is safe, caring, and encouraging. Your child will also have a unique opportunity to take a class with Hannah Fox, a respected professor who is also the director of a professional NYC-based theatre ensemble.
For young adults ages 15-19 interested in theatre for community building and promoting social justice. This 5-day intensive will teach an important new approach called playback theatre, which is based on enacting life stories offered by the community. You will learn about improv skills, physical acting, role flexibility, compassionate listening, expressiveness, teamwork, and connecting to audiences.
