"I found this class to be extremely fun! I found Chris' classes to be a great blend of fun and educational. Viola Spolin's technique not only teaches you how to improvise, but also how to identify elements of scene analysis, and experience these elements when performing which in turn help build an actor's skills and craft. I highly recommend this class!" - Glenn Odero, Winnipeg Actor
