Program Description
SINGLE WEEK SUMMER PROGRAM
Improv = fun + infinite possibilities! This ensemble-based workshop is a safe virtual space to imagine possibilities, explore how to perform and create a variety of characters that crack you up. Spend a week with an ensemble of young improvisers, while learning techniques and practices to help you stay present, truthful and connected.
*Please note: Session 1 will not be duplicative with Session 2 (August 17-21) so if you love Improv sign up for both weeks! We will work on completely different material in the two sessions.

- A direct link to the video(s) will be provided to share with friends and family.
