🎉 Want to learn the exciting world of improv? Here’s your chance! 🎉

Improvisational theatre, or improv, is unscripted and spontaneous—an art form where every scene is created in the moment. It’s a blend of fun, creativity, and teamwork that often leads to laughter without even trying!

This open-level workshop focuses on Improv Fundamentals. Whether you're a beginner or want to revisit the basics, this session is perfect for everyone. The instructor will guide you through the essential building blocks of improv, helping you gain confidence, improve spontaneity, and unleash your creativity.
 

✨ Workshop Focus

The focus is on creating a fun, supportive environment where everyone can participate and enjoy. Whether you're completely new to improv or just want to try something different, this is the perfect place to start!
Some games are unfair by design—and that’s what makes them so much fun. In this session, we’ll dive into games where the rules are stacked against you, the goals make no sense, and failing is inevitable… but also hilarious.

Through fast-paced, ridiculous challenges, you’ll experience firsthand how freeing it is to let go of perfection, embrace the chaos, and just play. Whether you crash, stumble, or succeed by accident, you’ll learn that the real win is in showing up and having fun.

Because if you’re not failing, are you even playing?
