Class Description

From day one you will jump into a series of fun warm ups and games designed to ease you into improv. Before you know it you will be playing scenes and learning how to heighten and explore your ideas. As the class progresses you will learn how to do 2 person scenes, group scenes, group games and how to deliver simple monologues. The class is all about fun and support. Whether you are a beginner who has never improvised or someone who has improv experience, you will learn strong fundamentals that will build your confidence, improve speaking skills and foster spontaneity

Instructor: Christopher Bell

Chris majored in theatre way back when the Greeks made it a thing. He's been in NYC for about 16 years and throughout that time has produced play festivals and shows including an award show for the advertising industry. Chria has been in the Magnet improv scene for about 10 years now. He performs regularly in Premiere: The Improvised Musical on Fridays, The Armando Diaz Experience on Saturdays, and is co-producing and performing monthly in Undressed: The Musical (all shameless plugs).

Outside of the Magnet, Chris was in a run of BLANK! The Musical, and has done shows with Baby, Shitzprobe, Empire, Queens Secret Improv Club (oldie but a goodie), and various indie shows. He teaches workshops to teens, adults, and corporations on musical improv and reg improv at the Magnet. When Chris is not improvising, he's managing a small youth performing arts organization here in the city.
