(We know. They aren’t teens. But we like the picture.)
Summer! No School! Lot’s of free unstructured time!
LET’S WATCH TV AND PLAY VIDEO GAMES UNTIL OUR BRAINS TURN INTO PUDDING!! I LOVE PUDDING!!!!
Don’t do that.
Because on June 18th, Elana Fishbein will be kicking off Summer with “Improv for Teens”, a fun class for sharp teens who want to learn and practice the principles of improv.
We talked with Elana about the class, her history with improv and its importance in everyone’s life .
Magnet Blog: So how did you get started in improv?
Elana Fishbein: I started improvising pretty seriously when I was fifteen years old and a big part of that was because of the encouragement I received from some fantastic teachers. Under their tutelage I came to understand the ways in which improv can be an awesome and empowering form of expression. I’m excited to follow in their footsteps.
MB: So what will this class be about?
EF: In Improv for Teens, students will learn to improvise together in a fun, supportive environment. Games and exercises will focus on collaboration, group mind, character building, commitment, spontaneity, and the most magical principal of improv, “Yes And!” Participants will walk away with a fundamental understanding of long-form improv and the skills to perform grounded, hilarious, improv scenes. The class will culminate with a graduation performance in which students will have the opportunity to wow their friends and loved ones. It’s a super fun show.

Best. Summer. Ever.
Slots are still available, so if you or someone you know is interested in signing up for Improv for Teens check out this link: http://www.magnettheater.com/classlist.php?infoid=1100.
Class begins on June 18th.
Tweet it, Facebook it, and maybe even actually say it out loud to another person in the same room.

How are your fundamentals? It’s easy for experienced improvisers to underestimate the importance of the basics. The truly great performers, however, develop discipline in the fundamentals of good improv and return continuously to them for inspiration. This class is designed to bring experienced improvisers back to the beginning to reconnect with what’s essential and to develop the good habits and skills that will serve you for as long as you continue to improvise. Prerequisite: A year or more of improv training.
