Improv is a team sport! This workshop will focus on improvised scene work and character relationships. You will develop an understanding and awareness of the different ways in which characters interact with one another. By the end of this class, you should be able to improvise a scene with a partner while also maintaining a character throughout the scene. Participants can expect to do more scene work than in Level 1.
You will have the opportunity to perform in the Workshop Showcase for friends and family. Performance is encouraged, but not mandatory.

Teacher: Matt Kusmire
Matthew Kusmire will help you to achieve whatever goal you’re looking to get out of improv. Matthew has worked as an instructor with Rapid Fire as well as at the University of Alberta improv group. He has performed at festivals across Canada, is a producer with Mean Streets Improv, and an active member of the improv community across Edmonton and beyond. Currently in school for his Masters in Psychology, he hopes to apply this knowledge not only to help you learn improv but also to understand how it applies to other avenues of life. Everyone who takes a class takes it for a unique reason personal to them, and Matthew hopes to help with that journey.
