Comedy Improv SLAM!: a no-experience-necessary evening of improvisation

Build creativity, confidence, and communication skills while having the most fun in a small supportive group. Through the playing of theatre games and improvisation, participants will act out comedic sketches, create hilarious situations, and develop quirky characters under the guidance of experienced theater teacher, Ingrid Schaeffer. Within minutes, even the most apprehensive participant will be jumping up to try their hand at acting. Improvisation strengthens one's mental agility, concentration, and ability to take risks. To be successful in this workshop you only need to bring two things: an imagination and the willingness to have FUN! Presenter Ingrid Schaeffer is Chair of the Theatre Department at ACES Educational Center for the Arts. She has given workshops on communication and storytelling at Yale University, corporations throughout Connecticut, and the State Department of Education. Ingrid is a Fund for Teachers and Lincoln Center Fellow. She is also an award-winning director and theatre teacher.
