Whether it’s a pie in the face, walking into a solid object, or a house collapsing around you; physical comedy makes people laugh.  In this six-week class, we will explore the world of comedic performance with one of the funniest actors - YOUR BODY! We will use tips & tricks to explore the use of time, space, and physical posturing; hone comedic instincts as an actor; and create a supportive place for people to take physical risks as we share our imaginative silliness and creativity. 

Whether you’re looking to improve your acting skills or to feel more confident in your body, this class is sure to connect you to the comedy that is innately and wonderfully YOURS. Leave the room with renewed confidence in your body’s impulses, in your personal humor and in your ability to get laughs by reacting honestly (and fully) to imaginary circumstances.

So come! Be unapologetically a fool with us!
