Classes & Lessons

Item Description

Your child will develop their emotional intelligence, creativity, confidence, critical thinking, collaboration and communication skills—all in a fun, supportive environment of ensemble-based games that are the foundation of improvisational theater.

YADA’s Improv Program curriculum is based on Viola Spolin’s theater games and use of the educational and social benefits of play. Considered the mother of improvisational theater, Spolin’s games and exercise have a focus, a problem to be solved by the players as a group, by getting them out of their heads—we ask them to “think” less and respond with their imagination and heart while working with and learning from others.
