Acting and Improv theater share similarities but have distinct differences:

Acting: Structured interpretation and portrayal of a character in scripted plays or films. Actors deliver the script authentically, memorizing lines and blocking, creating a consistent portrayal. This involves exploring physicality and character voices.

Improvisation (Improv): An unstructured process creating scenes without a script. Participants step out of comfort zones, think on their feet, and tap into spontaneity. Improv actors work with minimal preparation, creating characters, dialogue, and action on the spot, often in response to suggestions. It fosters fun, laughter, and camaraderie.

Purpose: Acting teaches honest, confident physical expression, fostering a deeper connection with character emotions. Improv enhances authentic empathy, creativity, quick thinking, and playfulness.

Benefits: Both Acting and Improv enhance communication skills, boost confidence, and deepen connections with oneself and others. While both develop acting skills, they require distinct approaches and skill sets.

Our classes are open to anyone eager to have fun and grow through theater.

No prior experience is needed for our beginner classes, and there are no auditions. We welcome everyone interested in learning acting, improvisation, communication, and creativity.

We see theater as a powerful tool for personal development in a fun and creative way. Our goal is to create a supportive environment where people can explore their creativity, build confidence, and connect with others.

In class, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows for free movement, as our exercises and activities involve physical motion.

The instructor will provide any necessary preparation details via the WhatsApp group created before the course begins. While homework is kept simple, it is essential for the group’s dynamics and progress. The first class is an introduction, so no preparation is required. Lastly, bring your smile—we'll handle the rest!

All classes are conducted in English, so a basic understanding of the language is required. However, our native English-speaking teachers will support you in adapting, even if you aren't fluent.
