  • Active listening

The 8-week course will finish with a one-hour show for family and friends on the evening of 28th Nov from 5:30-6:30 pm

"I love sharing improvisation with young people. Improvisation develops students' confidence, resilience, decision-making, resourcefulness, teamwork and listening skills. It can help to reduce anxiety and fear of judgement. It challenges us to embrace and celebrate mistakes, to be bold and to support each other. All you need is yourself and your fellow improvisers." - Brenna Dixon

The class size is limited to 12 students. 

These skills can then be taken into acting, public speaking, general communication, and more.
