COURSE DESCRIPTION
This 4-week Funtensive Class will give teen students valuable skills in Creativity (writing & thinking), Community (Team, Listening, Focus) and Leadership (Public Speaking). A great way to get the arts back into student's lives, these classes fill the void left by many NYC schools. More than a cultural arts experience, the Improv training is invaluable Language Arts and Character Building. We use this fun activity to overcome insecurities, develop intense focus and create great speakers. Our students become students leaders at their schools.TEACHER Walt Frasier (TV, Off Bway, 4000+ pro improv shows) has taught this Master Class in numerous NYC high schools,as well as training other teachers and providing his Improv 4 Teens book - IMPROV THIS - for FREE online as a resource for students and teachers.
