Welcome to our exciting 10-week improv workshop designed exclusively for homeschoolers!

Get ready to ignite your creativity and boost your confidence through the magic of improvisation! In this dynamic workshop, we’ll explore the wonderful world of improv together, fostering a fun and supportive environment for all participants.

The Improv for Homeschooler classes will be split into two age groups and run simultaneously.

Ages 9-12: Young improvisers will embark on a journey of imagination and teamwork as they learn the fundamentals of improv. 

Ages 13-17: Our older group will delve deeper into the art of improv, honing their improvisational techniques and developing compelling scenes and characters.

Christina Harbak (she/her) is going into her 10th season with Rapid Fire Theatre and has been improvising since 2011. She has performed in a variety of shows at Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival throughout the years, including as her mischievous character “Christina the Intern”. As an academy instructor, Christina works with people of all ages, but especially loves working with seniors and children. Having spent her own youth in drama camps and classes, she adores the magic of people of all ages discovering and re-discovering how much they love art, performance, and making stories come alive.

Kelly has been with Rapid Fire Theatre for 7 years and has been thrilled to be able to teach all ages for just as long. She is all about seeing the benefits improv brings to everyday life. And most importantly, getting some time in your week to just let loose, be silly, and have fun!
