The social-emotional benefits of improvisational theatre games are well documented, but sometimes in NYC, there’s a pressure to perform. In this class, taught by Michelle Best, the focus is on group dynamics and how the experience of being a part of a group mind elevates our collective energy. This class will develop the soft skills we need to connect in a world that no longer has to be socially distant.

Come together for 6 weeks of carefully crafted improvisational games, designed for the non-actor. (Actors are welcome too, yet this is not a performance lab.)
