FAQs:
What is improv?
Life is improvised! No planning. Just by-the-seat-of-your-pants action. Well play games you may have seen at the Happier FAMILY Comedy Show or on Whose Line is Anyway? on TV. Fun stuff. And easier than you think.
Why improv?
Improvisation is wonderful way to practice valuable skills, such as: gaining confidence, listening, getting more comfortable with making mistakes, letting go of fear, accepting ideas from others, exploring your creative self, being in the moment, and last but not least grinning, giggling and guffawing! Yay for play!
Do we need experience?
Nope. Not even a little. I promise.
What about folks who get nervous performing?
FAMILY IMPROV is taught in an accepting, welcoming and completely voluntary atmosphere. You are invited to participate to whatever extent you feel comfortable, even if its as an enthusiastic audience member. Scaredy cats welcome!
