This weekly class series will combine improv, personal storytelling, and drama games that will help you flex your creative muscles, build confidence and public speaking skills, and tap into your silly side. If you’re looking for a weekly creative ritual that will help you fight the Seattle Freeze, this class is for you!

Classes build skills sequentially from week to week: you’ll learn how to create memorable characters, how to put the concept of “yes, and” into practice onstage and in your daily life, and how to collaborate in the moment to create joyful scenes out of thin air. We'll cover topics such as devising, scene work, character building, improvisation, stage presence, and physical theatre.
