Now in its second year, THEA 170 — Introduction to Improvisational Theatre — is an exciting course that introduces students to the fundamentals of improvisation through games and exercises that have been designed to eliminate the anxiety and mental blocks associated with thinking, responding and performing without any prior preparation.
In THEA 170, students work in groups to develop the communicative and cooperative skills needed to confidently participate in the various styles and forms of improvisation. Also, the course affords students the opportunity to develop the listening and observation skills that are needed for effective interpersonal communication in work, school and social situations. Lastly, for non-theatre majors, THEA 170 is a fun way to fulfill a General Arts Education requirement.
THEA 170-600 (CRN 41789) is available this summer (Session 2) and will run from May 21 through June 29, Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Maureen Stapleton Theatre.
