Summer Workshops sign-ups are now available!

WHEN: Thursdays (online) & Fridays (in person) @ 12:00 – 2:00 pm, between June 25 and August 7, 2020.

WHERE: Online via Zoom, in person at Carlson Park on Braddock in Culver City

WHAT:  Workshops exploring more fun Improv games, including some never-before-played games. Participants are required to have completed at least one year in the CCMS Improv Program. The workshops will focus on finding the fun in the scene, playing grounded characters, and keeping our improv skills sharp through advanced improv games and exercises. There may be some hot days but we will perform and rehearse in the shade and it’s actually a very fun, freeing environment to improvise in. Students should bring either a yoga mat or folding chair to sit on + plenty of water.

COST:  $20 per workshop.
*** Advance payment is required (no drop-in participants can be accommodated). ***

Students do not need to attend every workshop. Participants will receive confirmation of each workshop, based on having a minimum of 8 participants. Workshops will also have a MAXIMUM of 16 participants, so register now before they fill up!

Register Now!

Please note that all participants MUST have completed at least one year of CCMS Improv! Please do not sign up if your student is not yet in the CCMS Improv Program, as we are unable to offer refunds for this reason.

January 2020 – Intro to Improv Class

We’re offering a new option this year…a single-semester “Intro to Improv” class on Wednesdays after school. It has the same great content as the main Improv Program, but in a low-key class format without a performance component.

Sign-ups for the Spring 2020 Intro to Improv Class are open. Sign up now!

Or you can get more info on our new INTRO TO IMPROV class here.
