If you’ve ever wanted to try performing improv comedy*, strengthen your public-speaking and communication skills, and/or meet new people, this is your chance. We’re hosting a private comedy workshop for UConn alumni and friends at Connecticut's favorite improv studio, Sea Tea Improv!
Sea Tea troupe members and UConn alumni Brenna Harvey ’10 (CLAS), ’14 CLAS and Steve Yenke ’12 (CLAS) will lead you through fun games, scenes, and exercises to break out of your comfort zone, meet new people, and learn stronger communication and adaptability skills. This will be a fun, challenging, and informative evening, and you’ll be able to take these skills back to your personal and professional lives.
Improv is for everyone - no comedy or theater experience is necessary to participate, and you're welcome to include non-alumni friends, significant others, or family with your registration.
*Improv comedy is exactly what it sounds like: improvised comedy. It's completely made up on the spot and performed without scripts. You won't learn lines; instead, you'll learn to communicate with your stage partner(s) and go with the flow. (Still not sure what this "improv" thing is? Think of the TV show Who's Line is it Anyway?)
