Improv for Everyone | 9am - 11:30am
This week-long intensive introduces the tenets of Happy Valley Improv, teach the fundamental concepts and skills of improv, and establish an understanding of improv as it is differentiated from other forms of comedy performance such as standup and sketch. Students should complete the week with practice and competency in:
- Adopting a “yes, and” stance
- Practicing and performing in service to the collective
- Listening to scene partners and contributing to scenes
- Accepting differences and interacting with others non-evaluatively
- Having stage presence (Using our bodies and voices to invite audience members into scenes)
- How to be a supportive audience member
This intensive is open to any rising 7th - 12th grader. No experience necessary! However, students with improv experience are invited to join and continue to work on their foundational skills.
