Four 2-hour, introductory classes teach you the basics of the art of improvisation. Students learn the core improv concepts of “Yes, and…”, celebrating failure, being spontaneous, collaborative listening, and making your partner look good. With these, you’ll create scenes and stories on the spot. Great for performers, but offstage, this class will help you build better listening skills and make it easier to trust your creative instincts and be more present in the moment.
Perhaps you’ve attended some of our Monday Workout Nights and want to really get into improv. This class is a great place to start your journey!
Or maybe you have to present or speak to groups of people, and you hate it! You can become a more relaxed, persuasive, and skillful. speaker.
No need to worry about being “funny” “thinking fast,” or “clever”. Everyone can improvise (in fact, you’re already doing it every day).
FAQs

A:The minimum age is 18.
Q: I’m feeling nervous about coming to my class. Should I still come?
A: Yes! Introverts and extroverts alike get nervous before their first class. The good news is that everyone in the class is here to grow and celebrate creativity. We work to create a trusting and safe environment for our students to explore improvisation. You don’t need any special skills to do improv, and we work to make that clear right at the top of class with games and exercises that show you how creative you already are. Your teacher won’t put you on the spot or make you do anything before you’re ready.
