Hey guys, a few months ago I had the distinct pleasure of taking an improv class called “In the Moment”, at the Shakespeare Theater Company in Washington DC under a master teacher Oran Sandel. It was really an amazing experience and it’s something that I highly recommend to anyone.
You come home after class so psyched because you have all this creative energy running through your veins at a level that you probably never have experienced before. More importantly, you leave the class having a better understanding of how to live “in the moment” as well as more whole understanding of how to communicate with the people you interact with around you.
Well if you live in the DC area, you really need to sign up for his class which is starting June 8th. Sign up for this Masters Acting Class at the Shakespeare Theater Company RIGHT NOW.
I’m not getting paid by these guys to write this. I just really really dig the class.
Here’s the summary…
The art of improvisation is one we all practice every day, whether we are doctors, lawyers, artists or businesspeople. This class is offered as a way to add layers of mindfulness and technique to that skill set, thereby increasing confidence and communication skills, as well as enriching the quality of life. Through improvisational theatre experiences for the mind, body and voice, workshop participants will gain a deeper understanding of the role of imagination, playfulness and creativity in daily life. Anyone wishing to pursue improvisation and theatre performance will also find the skills taught in this class invaluable.

I’m very jealous of you right now. I haven’t done improv in years but it was always a blast and exhilarating to have to keep up and keep things moving.
I looked at doing one of these about a year ago but had to put it on hold due to work… and now too busy to swing it.
*sigh*
Wishing I could go this time, but have a bunch of stuff the first few classes in June.
Hope they do the class again in the fall.
