Student Show for friends and family in the last 20 minutes of the final class (Dec 10th at 5:30)

Every week students will play a variety of games and exercises that get us out of our judgment brains and into our creativity. Students build characters and stories from their imaginations, being present, collaborating, and listening to come together as a team.

Learning improv is a powerful way for tweens to keep nurturing the vivid imagination of childhood while building on critical life skills of team work and adaptive thinking. It's a perfect opportunity to practice the essential art form of letting go of judgement in a welcoming and inclusive environment where students can build authentic connections through creative play!

Ages 10 - 13. No prior improv experience needed.
