| We are so happy and excited to share that, this summer, DE-CRUIT will be offering Improv classes for military Veterans at our Monday Night classes in NYC! About our instructor: Hollis Witherspoon is an actor, teaching artist and drama therapist. She studied medical anthropology at Princeton University and received her Masters degree in drama therapy from NYU. For over a decade, Hollis worked as an actor in film and theater in NYC. After studying improv at the People’s Improv Theatre, she began developing a unique teaching curriculum “improv for the artist”, which she taught at arts institutions such as Columbia university, school for visual arts, and Pratt Institute, where she is on faculty in the fine arts department. She developed a therapeutic application of improv while facilitating groups for the Monte Nido Eating disorder centers in Irvington and Manhattan, New York and continues to work with improv and therapy as a drama therapist with New York Creative Arts Therapists in Brooklyn. She is a proud Brooklynite and a devoted believer in the power of play. |
