What are the skills which allow a group of improvisers to perform at their highest level? How do we work, together, to make magic in the moment? In this class, we will take a look at the vital and dynamic role that “ensemble” (literally meaning “together” in French!) plays in improvisation.

What is our personal responsibility in terms of bringing fun and positive energy to any class, workout or performance? Are we open and able to both “bring the fun” when needed, and also to “have fun” when others are taking the lead? Leading and following simultaneously – the big ying/yang of improv!

In this workshop, we’ll work (and play) with the skills needed to both create, and be part of, a dynamic and stimulating improv ensemble!
