What are the differences between Acting and Improv?

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.

Should I book a Class Pack or a Trial Class?

We recommend booking a class pack in advance to secure your spot, get a lower rate, and enjoy long-term benefits. Here’s a comparison:

What happens if I miss a class or two?
