🤸‍♀️Improv game night [members & +1s]

​Hey all,

​I signed up for Improv theatre classes to work on my public speaking skills. Instead, I found yet another modality to get out of my head.

​For most people the idea of giving improv a try seems terrifying - how can you put yourself on the spot without a single idea of what you're going to pull off on stage? That's the whole point!

​I had my fair share of assumptions about what improv is - you need to be funny, act on your toes, and perform script-free. It turns out, it’s only part of the story.

​🤡 Improv is about creating a safe space where you can truly unleash your authentic powers. It no longer comes naturally for us to act in sync with our inherent instincts because society demands that we turn outwards to look for clues on how to act. So with each class, you learn to remember what you were taught to forget about yourself.

​🎁 Impromptu scene-making with another person is about gift-giving - everyone weaves a small thread of information (emotion, relationship specificity, conflict) to the patchwork of the story based on what happens NOW. Not in your head, not in meticulously built lines prior.

​👩‍🎤If you want to play with other people, and share your most unvarnished, authentic parts, come join us!

​What I have in store for you:

​5:30 - 6 pm - what improv is all about - quick intros, games to warm up to each other

​6-6:45 pm - group games that help us tap into our emotions, body cues

​6:45-7:30 pm - two-person scenes where we get to practice improv storytelling

​If the event intro sparked something in you, trust the nudge! Exciting but scary is what you need to show up.

​Everyone is welcome - no formal training/preparation required. 

​👯Get ready for a fun night of play and connection!
