Through exercises and games, this course will guide you toward better listening skills, to trust your creative instincts, and be present in the moment. Whether you want to do improvisation on the stage or be a better communicator and more spontaneous off-stage, this class is a great place to start!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Register here: <a href="http://www.mopco.org/class-calendar-2017/2017/3/18/improv-101" class="">http://www.mopco.org/class-calendar-2017/2017/3/18/improv-101</a></div></span></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
