Spirited Fun Improv
Week 9 | M, Tu, W, Th, F | Turner Conference Room | Ages 55 and up
Improv is play. Imagine for the next 90 minutes, everything you say or do will be absolutely right. You cannot make a mistake. No preparation. Nothing to remember. No wrong answers. Just. Have. Fun. Games and scenes are inspired by your life experiences and guided by your imagination. "Yes, and..." means you agree with your partner's suggestions, then add something to move the action forward. Your partner does the same for you. Everyone wins! You leave refreshed with the sound of laughter to brighten your day.
Class Times
Students should come to class prepared with the following materials:
- Small personal (not valuable), ordinary household items;
- Small musical instruments;
- Clothing accessories (sunglasses, hats, scarves, etc, for character creation);
- Paper and writing utensils, or an electronic notebook for taking notes (if desired).
Emily R. Harris
Improv has been part of Emily's life for six decades. Taking her first improv class at the age of four, she was given permission to play and hasn't stopped yet. As an improviser, storyteller, educator, and spirited senior, Emily says, "embracing the improv mindset of yes can go a long way in filling the need to laugh, feel good about ourselves, and take care of each other."
