So I had to send an email with our voucher numbers to reserve our seats. Luckily, we snatched street parking directly outside since commercial parking on that block ends at 6pm (yay!). Class starts at 7pm. After climbing one set of stairs, we walk into the studio. Nikki, our instructor, greets us then provides a quick overview of the space. We select our seats, hang our coats, grab aprons and two slices of pizza per person. Who doesn't love a pizza party? I appreciated the prompt start, because it was a two-hour experience. The class itself (with 10 students including us) was pretty cool and relaxing. It was easy to "paint along," because there was a well-positioned TV that was connected to a camera over her canvas. She gave oral instructions as she demonstrated the techniques. We did our best to replicate what she just demonstrated as she walked around to give individual pointers. My right arm was definitely tired due to the repeated strokes lol, but we had a great time. Clean up was a breeze and it didn't take long for our canvases to dry. We're excited to come back for more classes. Aside from painting your own piece, you can also browse the pieces available for purchase. I can't think of a better way to adorn the bare white walls of our home than with DIY pieces.

I just love doing improv with Carl Kissin. Why?…read more 1. The mix of students includes working actors wanting to broaden their skill set, curious first-timers looking for laughs, white collar types wanting to hone their speechifying skills, and frequent out-of-towners who are curious about the NYC improv scene. Working with such diverse students means that every class is a new learning experience. 2. The vibe, which grows from Carl Kissin himself, is deeply kind and encouraging. It's a safe space to try new things, mess up, try again, and discover weird bits of yourself that are usually too shy to come out. 3. The skills apply to everything in life, especially to interpersonal relationships. Carl pushes us to listen with our whole being and get out of our own heads and completely focus on our scene partner's "message." Guess what? Doing this also happens to be the secret sauce of great communication. I'm constantly amazed how much improv has to teach me about living. It's like therapy, but fun! Here's a little clip from a recent class: https://www.veed.io/view/262cbbb3-c81e-4e42-99d1-6544235da70a?panel=share

I have taken classes at HB Studio on and off since 1995. Something must have happened to the…read moremanagement lately. Years ago, I took a voice-over class and they never told me the famous voice-over artist/teacher, who died from COVD in 2020, would not be teaching. Instead, the clown who taught and some snippy lady in class were on my case that you need a British accent for most luxury American commercials. I was not given a refund for the class. Notify people the professors changed and do not have them harassed if they do not have a British accent. This is not London. Tell people they will need one or they will be harassed in class! I must have complained close enough, but they claim I did not. I would say they should give me a "free" (I derived nothing from the class) class with the proper teacher, but he is dead. Perhaps my self-esteem is rising and my patience/tolerance is lessening! I was almost physically attacked about a year ago by a tall Asian man who told me I could no longer audit a class or use the bathroom after having paid thousands to them for years. They were enforcing mask policies when not even hospitals with old sick people were any longer! You can no longer audit or check out a class there. I don't think their office is yet open! In addition, a recent Zoom class I took on acting business advice for $95 was largely a waste of money and really did not tell me something I did not know. One woman had decent accomplishments, the other okay ones. They both seemed to be in the same boat as most on the Zoom. A few on the Zoom class had no experience. After being a member of SAG for more than 10 years, they are so disorganized, they never put it onto my profile. In a hurry, and having decided to the last day of good savings on November 30 to register, I realized, to make a long story short, I'd have to call the office to get the proper discounts. I was frustrated but appreciated the good service of Lluvia Almanza. However, she must be very uppity and complained about me. (Some of us deserve to be uppity at times, but not her.) I had thanked her and had wished her a good day. I was given a refund (thank goodness) and not listened to after defending myself! smh

We had an incredible experience learning from her and everyone went home with a fantastic artwork! Here are some highlights of my experience: - Kaitlyn was able to order all supplies within the budget provided. I trusted her choices and everything the group used was professional. - She spent many hours in advance helping me with the party preplanning. We went back and forth on what type of painting was appropriate for the group and she really understood the interest of the group. - All set up and break down was done by Kaitlyn. Hosting a party can be stressful enough but she managed all of that! - We had a diverse skill group and Kaitlyn's instructions allowed for all beginners to follow along while giving some fun challenges to the more experienced people. Kaitlyn is extremely professional and talented! It was a pleasure working with her.
