Students will also learn how to command the stage, the power of team work and what it means to truly commit to every scene.
Testimonials:
“I’ve been in improv troupes for over 5 years and was a little burnt out. I took some time off and studied with Dave and for the first time in a long time I’m excited and he really challenged me in areas I didn’t even know I needed to be challenged. I recommend studying under him whether in a class or in private lessons.”
“I’ve seen Dave perform improv, I’ve seen him teach and been taught by him. No matter what I’ve experienced him doing it’s with an amazing passion. That alone is great to be around but the way he teaches is so amazing that without even realizing it…you just get it.”
