DESCRIPTION

Sharing the magic of improv with new students is one of the most rewarding aspects of improv. But it can also be one of the most daunting. This workshop covers how to prepare for a class, design the workshop, run exercises, watch a scene, and how to give notes kindly but directly. We will also cover how to market your class or workshop and present it to potential students. This material will apply both to online and in-person teaching.

Students will: teach each other exercises and get feedback on their teaching, develop a workshop outline and learn to revise it. The class will also discuss how to handle difficult situations, the difference between teaching a workshop and coaching a group and each session closes with a Q&A session.

Students are expected to be experienced improvisers (>60 hours of classes and performing)
