Acton COA Presents: Exploring Improvisation with Poornima Kirby

Come unlock your sense of humor, play, and discovery with this class on the art and fun of improvisation!  We’ll play simple improv games, explore short-form and long-form scenarios, and gain tools for building characters on the fly. We’ll also sharpen our listening skills, use our imaginations, and learn how to say “yes, and . . .!” to our fellow improvisors. We’ll even learn how to apply improvisation skills in everyday life to solve problems, increase confidence, & gain insights into human relationships. People with any level of experience are welcome to join!  Poornima Kirby is an experienced Shakespearean actress, with numerous credits in film & theatre. She has performed at the Senior Center in King Lear, A Christmas Carol, & a compilation of Shakespeare scenes. She has taught public speaking, poetry, and theatre to students of all ages.

Open to out-of-towners age 60+ for $20
