What are the differences between Acting and Improv?

Acting and Improv theater share similarities but have distinct differences:

Acting: Structured interpretation and portrayal of a character in scripted plays or films. Actors deliver the script authentically, memorizing lines and blocking, creating a consistent portrayal. This involves exploring physicality and character voices.

Improvisation (Improv): An unstructured process creating scenes without a script. Participants step out of comfort zones, think on their feet, and tap into spontaneity. Improv actors work with minimal preparation, creating characters, dialogue, and action on the spot, often in response to suggestions. It fosters fun, laughter, and camaraderie.

Purpose: Acting teaches honest, confident physical expression, fostering a deeper connection with character emotions. Improv enhances authentic empathy, creativity, quick thinking, and playfulness.

Benefits: Both Acting and Improv enhance communication skills, boost confidence, and deepen connections with oneself and others. While both develop acting skills, they require distinct approaches and skill sets.

What happens if I miss a class or two?

  • Attendance Requirement: Students must attend at least 80% of each course/class pack (e.g., for an 8-class pack, you can miss a maximum of 2 classes).
  • Importance: Regular attendance boosts group dynamics, enhances energy, and provides more opportunities for pair and group activities. Commitment to most lessons ensures personal and group growth, as each lesson builds on the previous one.
  • Refunds & Credits:
    • Withdrawal: Students can cancel their booking for any reason at least 3-4 weeks before the course starts.
    • Missed Classes: No amendments, credits, or compensations for missing 1 or more classes.

What should I wear and prepare for the class?

In class, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows for free movement, as our exercises and activities involve physical motion.
The instructor will provide any necessary preparation details via the WhatsApp group created before the course begins. While homework is kept simple, it is essential for the group’s dynamics and progress. The first class is an introduction, so no preparation is required. Lastly, bring your smile—we'll handle the rest!
