Say "yes, and..." to developing improv comedy skills! Join improv leader Quinton Loder for the return of improvisational theatre courses in 2022!

In this 1st of a 5-level series, "Level 1" students will look under the hood of the wondrous and entertaining world of improv theatre. New and returning participants will explore how to build entertaining scenes that provide a sense of accomplishment. Students will discover the power of "yes, and" while developing personal skills like listening, empathy, thinking on the spot, and public speaking. This series is for ages 18+, and adults of all abilities, backgrounds, and experience are encouraged to attend.

Level 1 will be held from 4:00 to 6:00 pm on Sundays: January 16, 23, 30 and February 6, 20, 27. Please note there is no class on Sunday 2/13. By registering, students agree to adhere to COVID rules for all Aloha Theatre participants. All participants MUST wear covered-toe shoes and are encouraged to bring a water bottle.

About the Teaching Artist: Quinton joined the Hawaii performing arts scene after studying and performing short and long form improv for the last 24 years around the USA. He found a wealth of theater talent within the Aloha Theatre and the Big Island Improv Jam, and became both anxious and excited to share his knowledge to expand others’ abilities! He approaches performing and coaching improv with emphasis on support and honesty, and can’t wait to get to know you through “yes, and…”!

Please note: For the time being, proof of vaccination will be required to attend this class. Please e-mail proof of vaccination to sara@alohatheatre.com before the first class day.
