Stef’s improv classes create an environment of profound and hilarious mutual support where students know that every facet of their creative self - from the goofball to the dramatic, from the most confident to the most vulnerable - is appreciated. Students learn to get out of their own way, leave their judgment and shame at the door and let their glorious silliness shine through, discovering characters and stories and whole worlds within themselves that have never been seen before. Through a plethora of warm-ups, games and scene-work exercises, students come away with lighter hearts, sharper minds, a host of creative tools and a deeper appreciation for themselves.

"Stef's teaching and demeanor created a warm, welcoming environment in his musical improv class. In a medium that can sometimes be intimidating and create vulnerable emotions for those participating, he was able to unite everyone, no matter what their experience level was, with his wonderful warm-ups, approachable nature and expertise. My confidence grew because of Stef's feedback and guidance and I feel grateful to have had the experience to be taught by him." - Kate DeFeo, NYC
