Subject: Whose Line is it Anyway?

You’ve seen “Whose Line is it Anyway” on TV, now try on some lines and characters yourself as you stretch your Improv muscles!

ChathamArts, your county arts council, presents “IMPROV FOR ALL”  with Instructor, Anoo Brod of Transactor’s Improv Troupe!

In this class we will delve into scene work and learn how to up the ante between characters. We will also dabble in some long-form improvisation. Focus will be on side-coaching and direction so that each student gets personal feedback and guidance to ensure growth and improvement. Absolutely great for writers and storytellers too! There will be an optional public performance opportunity with this class. BEGINNERS ARE WELCOME!
