INSTRUCTOR:
Ashley Davis: Ashley Davis (she/her) is a veteran improviser and improv instructor. She gained her education at Pointless Brewery and Theater in Ann Arbor, MI, and has since performed in many venues across the state. When she isn't on stage she is teaching English to 8th graders and leading workshops for other teachers about how to bring improv into the classroom. Teaching improv and helping adults tap back into their inner child and re-engage in play and imagination is one of her life's greatest joys.
