Finding Your Voice in Comedy (with AMY CROSSMAN)

Watch a class preview video with Amy here.

Great comedians make being funny look effortless, but for many actors, comedy is a struggle. In this class, we will cozy up with our funny nature to explore and (re)discover our unique and personal sense of joy, play, and fun. Employing techniques from improv and clowning, this class will help us get comfortable with the truth and silliness that is always bubbling just beneath the surface. This class is great for beginning and experienced actors alike.

(NOTE: If you can find a place where you can move around and/or make noise for this class, that's great! If you have a pillow to make noise into, that's also great!)
