Intro to Improv: Have fun and find creativity
Saturday August 17, 2024 11:00am - 11:50am MDT
Bonavista Ballroom
Join us for an Intro to Improv class where you learn to laugh and embrace failure in a low-risk environment. Using non-performative experiential exercises, you will learn to take risks, embrace failure and be more comfortable with the unknown. This class is not about performance or making you a great comedian. This class will help you connect and communicate with people in a safe and fun space. As well as turning on your creativity and seeing where it takes you!
