Improv For Beginners with Andrew Dennis

Develop your confidence in using improvisation skills to enter the creative space without any pre-conceived ideas and create something out of nothing. This lesson will use a range of exercises, building on the fundamentals of improvisation to help you overcome barriers to spontaneity and understand that creativity needs a framework and parameters to exist. This class will give you the skills and tools to build that framework for yourself and set your own parameters. Lose the fear of improvisation and discover the enjoyment!
