Improv with Evan Roush
Improv is a wonderful skill that applies to everyday life, broadening one’s listening abilities and understanding of physicality. It’s not just for actors - Improv helps build confidence, opening the internal self in not just comedic ways. In this class there is no stage, no script, no defined world - only the one we build together.
Evan has studied under some of Upright Citizen’s Brigades finest improvers and sketch writers - Johnny Meeks, Eugene Cordero, Betsy Sodaro, and many others. He performed with the group Delicate Fucking Flowers in Los Angeles for many years before moving to Santa Barbara, where he now teaches beginning improv at Santa Barbara City College.
