Classes Begin September 29

7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Looking to try something new or meet new people? Sign up for an improv class at Sawubona Creativity Project! Whether you're brand new or just want to refresh your improv skills, this class is for everyone—no experience required.

Improv is the art of making things up on the spot—it's spontaneous, creative, and a whole lot of fun. In this class, you'll learn how to “yes, and” your scene partners’ ideas, think quickly on your feet, and tap into your natural creativity. Along the way, you'll build confidence, improve your communication skills, and rediscover the joy of play (seriously, when was the last time you played Tag? It’s an improv game!).

Classes are welcoming, supportive, and designed to help you grow, laugh, and connect. Whether you're looking to boost your stage presence, become a better listener, or just have a great time—this is the place to start.
