Learn key points for a good theatrical performance, how to keep an improvised scene moving forward, and how to keep the audience engaged. Explore a variety of theatre activities, exercises, and games that get your brain and body thinking and moving quickly. Participants need to wear comfortable, but not baggy, clothing they can move in (such as sweatpants, tennis shoes or split sole jazz shoes, and a t-shirt). No skirts or dresses unless leggings are worn underneath. No sandals. Please enter through the 5th Street door.
