A new and exciting course is now available for those interested in the craft of improvisation, the art of thinking on one’s feet. Introduction to Improvisational Theatre (THEA 170) introduces students to the fundamentals of improvisation through various 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 will 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 will afford students the opportunity to develop the listening and observation skills that are necessary for effective interpersonal communication in work, school, and social situations. Finally, for non-theatre majors, THEA 170 is a fun way to fulfill a General Education Arts requirement.
THEA 170-600 (CRN 16245) is available this semester as a sprint course and will run from Oct. 26 through Dec. 16, Mondays and Thursdays from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Maureen Stapleton Theatre.
