Having taught for the last 20 years I have developed a passion for teaching Improvisation. My focus is not comedic. I love sharing the tools I have developed through my writing/performance experience with The Second City as well as my years of developing and directing original scripts as well as performing in film, theatre. My focus is to share improv guidelines to help in the acting process. My course is an acting course using improvisation.
