Carnegie Hall’s Classes & Workshops Series offers many different learning opportunities for all ages, taught by regional artists. Coming up, Jan Darrah will teach Theatre Improvisation 101, a six-week series beginning on Monday, Oct. 21, from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
If you have ever watched a comedy improv group and thought “That looks like fun! I wish I could do that!” then this is the class for you. Improv is a type of theater where the performers create most or all of what they perform in the moment, without a written script. This can include the dialogue, action, story, and characters. This fun and creative series will cover the basics of physical and verbal ensemble-based comedy improv in a welcoming environment. Learn the secrets of playing with spontaneity and bypassing your Inner Censor to have fun! All experience levels welcome.
Classes will take place on Mondays, Oct. 21, 28, Nov. 4, 11, 18, and 25. Registration is $65 for members ($75 for nonmembers). Students must be 16 years of age or older and class size is limited.
