Improvisation—The Power of Play with Madeline England IN PERSON
Mon, July 12, 19, 26, Aug 2, 16 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM $45
This course, created by Rhode Island’s own Contemporary Theater Company, teaches the basics of improvisational and collaborative storytelling, while allowing participants to explore the power of playfulness, laughter, and confidence through fun and approachable games and exercises—all tailored to be not memory based, allowing for an inclusive environment for all, including those with cognitive differences. If you want to explore something new in a safe and judgment-free zone, this class invites anyone who is excited about improv to jump in. No experience required.
