Vivid Stage is offering a new season of improv classes for adults and teens aged 18
and up. The classes will be taught by a rotating team of instructors including Laura
Ekstrand, Dave Maulbeck and Emaline Williams. Each of these instructors is a part of
the house improv team at Vivid, The Flip Side.
Improv for Teens and Adults provides students an introduction to improv comedy or a further exploration of what they’ve previously learned. Students will think on their feet by freeing their mind, body and imagination through group exercises and games in a safe and supportive atmosphere. Returning students will learn more complex games that require keeping multiple balls in the air while maintaining connection with scene partners. These classes provide a fun creative outlet while honing skills such as teamwork, spontaneity and careful listening that will enhance any professional pursuit.
About Vivid Stage:
Vivid Stage was founded in 1994 as Dreamcatcher Rep and is a non-profit professional ensemble of actors who build community with the audience by sharing contemporary, life-affirming stories that challenge, energize and entertain. Our work has at its heart a belief in the essential goodness of people and the power of live performance to connect people through our shared humanity. We expose theatregoers to ideas and lives like and unlike their own with the intention of awakening their imaginations and creating empathy for others. We deepen the experience of all our patrons with personal contact through receptions, talkbacks, and interactive programs.
The company’s activities include mainstage productions, improvisational comedy and cabarets, new play readings and a variety of educational and senior outreach programs.
Vivid Stage’s programs are funded by the New Jersey State Council
on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for
the Arts, the Summit Foundation and many other corporations, foundations and
individuals. Vivid Stage is an Equity Producing member of the New Jersey
Theatre Alliance.
