Team Improv

Taught by David Lee Rock, these 90 minute weekly courses teach students short form improv comedy in a fun, friendly and safe environment. Designed for 3rd graders and up, these workshops give a foundation in improvisational theatre. Improv I introduces basic techniques for maintaining focus and mental agility. Improv II expands on techniques to include characterization and maintaining storyline. Each workshop culminates in a live performance. Upon completion of Improv III, students, fully prepared, compete with the Improv Performance Team. Learning Improv helps to improve self-esteem, confidence under pressure, collaboration, problem solving, IMAGINATION and much more.

  3. At Tonicism we believe theatre is a discipline: a craft brought forth with hard work and passion. In order to learn and have the most fun while in class and on-stage, it is imperative that students practice techniques and assignments learned in class at home every day. There will be homework after every class.  In general, homework should take around 10 - 30 minutes to complete. We want every actor to shine onstage and always know that they have put their best into every performance!
  4. Adult complimentary admission not available for opening night or closing performances.
