Beginner Improv Comedy Classes with Silverbacks Improv Theatre starting Saturday June 10th
DOWNTOWN LAFAYETTE –
Local Improv Comedy Troupe, Silverbacks Improv Theatre, will begin another round of beginner improv classes starting in June 2017. Silverbacks began offering improv classes in the summer of 2015, and has had great success and fun with their students.
The Silverbacks will begin by offering Improv 1. Improv 2 and 3 will follow this summer, along with special children’s classes and Improv Intensives.
IMPROV LEVEL ONE is an entry-level course to the joys and thrills of improvisation, or improv. Students will learn and practice the application of “group mind” and the all-important “yes, and” – and other improv concepts and vocabulary. Students will practice new skills, perform and play in a safe, low-stakes and friendly atmosphere.
LEVEL ONE is perfect for the super fan of comedy or improv who has yet to perform, the curious introvert wanting to try something new or someone looking to improve their public speaking or quick decision making skills. At the conclusion, you can move on to Level Two or continue to take LEVEL ONE again – as many times as you’d like. You’re sure to get something new out of it each time!
Still on the fence? Hear from a former student!
“Silverbacks Improv Theatre classes were a great experience. I felt like I was in a slump, and these classes lifted me up. I made friends, gained confidence, and had the opportunity to play. The teachers miraculously offer a relaxed yet rigorous environment where challenge is welcome, but never judgment.” -Leslie Tidwell
LEVEL ONE students will present a showcase of their skills during the final class, where family and friends are invited.
