Chaos Theory is broken up into three groups:
New Timers
(Open to Grades 6-8)
New timers focus on the basics and foundations of improv and learn a variety of shortform improv games. They end the year with an invited showcase of their skills for families and friends. No audition necessary.
Rehearsal Day/Time: Wednesdays 4:30-6:00pm.
Dates: Oct. 8 – Dec. 10 (No: 11/26) and Jan. 7 – Apr 29 (No: 2/18 and 4/15)
Showcase: Final 45 minutes of class on April 29
Neutral Timers
(Open to Grades 7-9)
Neutral timers continue to hone their improvisation skills. They learn more advanced shortform formats and begin to get an introduction to longform improvisation. They have two public performances in the winter and spring.
Students must complete at least a year of Chaos Theory New Timers (or equivalent experience) and get approval from Mike to join Neutral Timers. Students who have not done Chaos Theory before will need to attend the Chaos Theory Workshop Audition.
