YOUTH 201: Improv Comedy (Ages 9-13)

Improv is the art of making it up. Advanced Students will recap the fundamentals of improvisation and comedy scene work and learn a full set of improv games. By learning performance games and taking risks in a safe environment, DSI students develop the ability to tell stories collaboratively and work in the moment.

DSI classes will help students: Improve verbal ability; Enhance active listening skills; Build body awareness; Boost self-confidence. Improvisation can have a positive impact on students both on- and off-stage.

Instructor: Molly Buckley

Molly has been improvising since 2006, studying the art of improv and sketch comedy with Ari Voukydis, Chris Gethard, and Betsy Stover (Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre), Michael Rock and Kevin Scott (Second City, Burn Manhattan, Centralia), Asaf Ronen (YesAND.com), Jill Bernard (Drum Machine), Christine Walters (ComedySportz), Barry Hite (iO Chicago), and Zach Ward (DSI Comedy Theater).

Before improv, Molly performed sketch comedy with CNU TONiGHT at Christopher Newport University. Molly is excited and honored to be a part of the DSI comedy family. Oh, Molly loves Chipotle burritos and Audrey Hepburn (both the famous actress and her dog, who happens to share her name with the famous actress).
