Our Foundations Level Class series teaches students that the meditative art of Improvisation is a powerful and joyous process. There's a reason the word "play" is in our name! Play is at the root of how we continue to learn new skills as adults.
No acting or performing skills are required: just a desire to have fun, trust your instincts, and learn new ways to communicate and collaborate! Our fun & engaging classes are geared toward anyone new to the practice of improvisation as well as for those who'd like to re-learn or continue to practice the basics of the art form. Together, we'll learn:

After ten years of working and studying in Sweden, Natasha returned to the US, to seek transformation through creative art. She studied improvisation under Mary Pat McCoy at Change Through Play, before going on to study under its Founder, David Koff. She remains in David’s Advanced Lab series, where she continues to study, develop, and refine her long-form improvisation practice and knowledge. Natasha’s focus in the art and practice of improvisation is “Walking into the unknown”. The joy and freedom that comes as a result of that focus makes her a perfect fit to teach our Foundations level. Natasha’s kind spirit and playful demeanor invites continual growth, laughter, and excellence from all participants.
