Class Description

In this class we will focus on giving advanced level students individual attention by identifying and working out bad habits that may have developed over the course of several levels of improv. Over these five weeks, we will unload your improv baggage and then attempt to rebuild you, as a stronger and more confident improviser. Prerequisite: Acceptance into Advanced Level 1.
