Description

The Barrow Group provides comprehensive improvisation training and performance programming suited to both aspiring and experienced performers. Improvisation strengthens imagination, cultivates playfulness, builds personal confidence, and develops collaboration and ensemble skills that are essential for any actor.

This introductory class welcomes students new to improvisational techniques. Through a series of carefully designed exercises and interactive games, participants will master fundamental improvisation skills while developing spontaneity, playfulness, creative imagination, and self-confidence.

    I had a great experience with Improv I. Samantha was an excellent teacher who was able to get everyone to relax and actively participate and be invested in classes. I'd recommend taking the class for those at a beginner level who want to get started in Improv, or even for anyone who's just curious about what Improv is.
