In the class from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday nights beginning Nov. 7, instructor Michele Greenwood Bettinger will invite students to explore the foundations of improvisation as it relates to performance.

Students in the class will participate in exercises designed to build creativity, spontaneity and confidence. Students will learn not only how to perform improv scenes, but how to apply the rules of improv to a scripted role and how to use these tools in an audition.

The class teaches enhanced creativity, social and public speaking skills, teamwork, critical thinking and problem solving skills.

The instructor has an extensive background including working at Walt Disney World and teaching for the cities of Renton and Lynnwood.
