Now that you're comfortable on stage, it’s time to really blossom as a performer and challenge yourself with new techniques, openings, and tools to level up your stage presence and theatricality. 

The class shifts your perspective from your own work to fully engaging with and supporting the ensemble.

Apply skills you have been learning to new openings, focus on choices that create clear, dynamic, and compelling scene work. Explore deeper physicality and lean into the trust and deep collaboration that builds not only hilarious but truly surprising improv comedy.
