IMPROV 101: Introduction to Improvisation
This course is packed with goodies for new and experienced improvisers alike. No matter your level of experience, this is where you want to start your improv training at ITC.
You will be doing improv comedy scenes on Day One. It's natural. We do it all day, every day. There's nothing to be afraid of here. As the course builds, so will your comfort and confidence. You will be introduced to such amazing improv concepts as: "active listening," "creating characters," and "how to create and move imaginary objects through space." We know, right? Who wouldn't want to do this?
