      Communication, General Pass - Level 2: Game of the Scene

      Activities and Societies: Attendance in 8 weekly Saturday training sessions. Group exercises to hone in on the essence of an instant initiated conversation and exploration of its absurdity. Team exercise preparation for a student show in "The Harold" form. Regular practice by participating, notetaking and reviewing improv shows at the school. Attending various improvised theatre jams on Sundays as well as the inclusivity focused monthly Wednesdays show. Feedback: "You are clearly very passionate about improv. Your confidence and sense of fun on stage can really draw the audience in. You're also not afraid to take some risks and to jump into scenes without overthinking it." In addition to the feedback on field to work in the next class: "Time spent getting on the same page at the beginning of the scene is never wasted, because we can't get to something funny unless everyone is fully on board."
