So excited to have been part of this class! Beautiful people and an adorable teacher. Learning acting while having so much fun and leaving the class so energised is something that I absolutely love. Till now I have been a vicious thief, a romantic Disney princess, an iconic Hollywood star and many more. Let's see what comes next.. Can't wait!

Isaac is an exquisite story artist! Ever excited, like a mad scientist, to teach you how to experiment with characters and emotions to create a unique story! His classes, weather writing or improv, are open fields for imagination to run wild without getting lost.

Starting an acting course for the first time in my life and having this teacher was a great combo. She is so passionate about what she does and great on making people feel comfortable. Last but not least her lessons were also always fun :-)

For the last two months, I was a part of Grazyna’s “Yes and Improve” class from Act Attack. Grazyna creates an amazing atmosphere in which everyone feels valued and encouraged to experiment with the art of improv theatre. This ensured that everyone in the group came out of their shell incredibly quickly and we had one hilarious session after another.

What are the differences between Acting and Improv?

Acting and Improv theater share similarities but have distinct differences:

Acting: Structured interpretation and portrayal of a character in scripted plays or films. Actors deliver the script authentically, memorizing lines and blocking, creating a consistent portrayal. This involves exploring physicality and character voices.

Improvisation (Improv): An unstructured process creating scenes without a script. Participants step out of comfort zones, think on their feet, and tap into spontaneity. Improv actors work with minimal preparation, creating characters, dialogue, and action on the spot, often in response to suggestions. It fosters fun, laughter, and camaraderie.

Purpose: Acting teaches honest, confident physical expression, fostering a deeper connection with character emotions. Improv enhances authentic empathy, creativity, quick thinking, and playfulness.

Benefits: Both Acting and Improv enhance communication skills, boost confidence, and deepen connections with oneself and others. While both develop acting skills, they require distinct approaches and skill sets.
