BIG’s Improv Classes Signup Deadline Nears
The deadline for signing up for Bermuda Improv Group’s [BIG] latest ‘Intro to Improv’ comedy class ends in five days.
A spokesperson said, “You only have five days left to sign up for the Bermuda Improv Group’s latest ‘Intro to Improv’ comedy class. A 10-week course for complete beginners, no acting, comedy or public speaking experience necessary. You don’t even need to be funny. What’s more, it’s good for you.
“Improv comedy is about working together as a team with other improvisers to spontaneously create group stories, scenes and sketches. It is totally different to stand-up comedy. It’s not about telling jokes, and you’re not left alone on stage having to do all the work.
“In the BIG ‘Intro to Improv’ class, you will learn the core skills of doing improv comedy in a friendly, playful, diverse, and supportive atmosphere. You’ll learn how easy and natural improv can be, with fun and laughter guaranteed. In fact, studies show that doing improv comedy is beneficial for your health and wellbeing.
“Psychology Today published an article this week by Dr. Clay Drinko, detailing studies ‘measuring improv’s impact on creativity, stress, confidence, anxiety, uncertainty intolerance, and psychological well-being.’
“He writes:
- Brain-scan studies have shown that improv activates creative brain centers and can help with brain connectivity.
- Psychological studies have shown that improv generally boosts creativity and confidence.
- Studies also show that improv generally decreases stress, anxiety, and uncertainty intolerance.”
“So what are you waiting for? Big fun and laughter and a positivity and wellbeing boost.
“Classes are held upstairs at Alchemy Gym, 22 Reid Street on Mondays from April 10 through June 5, with a final session on Wednesday, June 14. All sessions are 7.00pm to 9.00pm.
“The full course fee is $200 [if this prohibits you joining, please contact us at bigimprovbda@gmail.com as some partial scholarships are available]. There are only 14 spots available so sign up today through bdatix.bm and look for BIG Improv Classes.”
