Free Improv Class for Teens on the Autism Spectrum and Teachers

Fans who remember watching Drew Carey and friends make up scenes and songs on “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” will enjoy this four-week improvisational theater class for teens on the autism spectrum and teachers. Improv offers a safe, supportive, and creative environment for teens on the spectrum and teachers to develop communication and social skills together. In the words of one Camp Yes And teen attendee, "The activities exercised my imagination. It was really creative and fun."

Sponsored by Indiana University's Center on Education and Lifelong Learning, classes will be held at the Monroe County Public Library auditorium in Bloomington, IN, on March 4, 11, 25, and April 1 from 4-5:30 PM. Classes are designed to support teens (13-18) on the autism spectrum with Asperger’s or compatible diagnoses and teachers -- including para-educators, mentors, supervisors, etc. -- of any discipline working in K-12 public or private, university, and/or community-based settings (e.g., arts or social services organizations).
