It was intense- a very packed two and a half hours each day. It wasn't like any improv class/workshop I've ever taken- it's more like improv for people who will become teachers/public speakers, etc. I got a lot out of it so you may be interested as well.

does this count for a visual arts credit?

I don't know Ruby- I got it as an upper division theatre credit. Maybe look in the course catalog?

i took this class many, many years ago and i dug it. i'm pretty sure it is not a visual arts credit though.

No. No way am I taking classes from such an obvious supervillain. Next thing you know I'm ten miles underground, staring at a gigantic glowing map, wondering how I got in this jumpsuit. No thanks.

Professor Lazarus would have been my cat's name before he died (ABD).
