Welcome to our Improv Theatre Class,
We meet on Saturdays from 10am-1pm in the Parish Hall behind the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church on 9th Street at Hearst in Berkeley, CA.
Doors and kitchen open at 9:45am. Please consider stopping by early to help set up, enjoy a cup of tea and the company of your classmates.
Newcomers are welcome to attend any class.
Please contact Mike Dempsey with any questions or concerns.
Classes are offered on a dana (generosity) basis.
This week we will focus on listening and taking things slowly. With luck, we’ll hit that sweet spot between high energy and easy confidence. There’ll be a lot to get through. So please come on time. We’ll warm up right at 10am and then dive into scene work.
Until Saturday, I leave you with the following:
“I think all great improvisors are out to protect everybody else onstage and make them look good. So it’s almost like you’re in the cradle being loved …” — Scott Adsit
“You can’t be controlling in improv.” — Matt Walsh
“With improv, it’s a combination of listening and not trying to be funny.” — Kristen Wiig
Much Metta,
Mike
