Teens Impro!

An improvisation course for young people who want to play, have fun, and make things up on the spot!

Focusing on 

  • Being present in the moment
  • Accepting ideas - saying yes
  • Idea generation 
  • Supportive play and collaboration
  • Silencing the internal critic
  • Improving communication skills
  • Active listening

The two-day course will finish with a one hour show for family and friends

6 pm Tuesday 11th Jan

Ages 10 years - 14years (If you are over or under these years please email us at publicworkshops@impromelbourne.com.au for the next available course for you.)

"I love sharing improvisation with young people. Improvisation develops students' confidence, resilience, decision-making, resourcefulness, teamwork and listening skills. It can help to reduce anxiety and fear of judgement. It challenges us to embrace and celebrate mistakes, to be bold and to support each other. All you need is yourself and your fellow improvisers." - Brenna Dixon

Class size is limited to 12 students. 

These skills can then be taken into acting, public speaking, general communication, and more.
