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

Ages 13 years - 17 years (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

The class size is limited to 12 students. 

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