BEGINNER/
IMPROVER IMPROV
In this blended beginner/improver Improv class the focus is on building confidence and fostering a supportive environment for exploration through laughter. Through group exercises and games you will be introduced or extended on the foundations of improv such as “Yes, And”, spontaneity, active listening, being present in the moment, self awareness, vulnerability, taking risks, making and accepting offers. This class is all about stepping out of your comfort zone, trusting yourself and failing joyfully. If you are an improver, you will build on foundations and be introduced to character development. You will learn how to clearly establish the ‘who’ in scenes and define your character choices.

“Classes with Step Out! have been a tremendous joy and therapeutic experience. I so love getting to play and explore the vast array of expressions available to us. I have been gifted with an opportunity to completely surrender to the moment. Thank you Louise for creating a space for us to get silly, fun and expansive”.
–Kristina Salas
“Every week I look forward to it. It is honestly so fun and refreshing. It gets you out of your comfort zone, without pressure and unease. Everyone is encouraging and welcoming, it is really a safe place, where you can play and have so much fun! What ever it is you are worried about, just stop overthinking it and join the improv class! You won't regret it”.
