Prerequisite: IMPROV II or comparable training. This class will include an intro-duction to long form improv, a continuation
of musical improv (including more complex song structures), acting techniques and character development skills. Working as an
ensemble that trusts and supports each other will be stressed, as well as taking bigger emotional risks, expanding your verbal and
physical "comfort zones", raising your awareness of others and the environment, and letting go of inhibitions. The class will
conclude with a performance at a local theater (location TBA).
