Level One Class: Intro to Improv

Teacher: TBA

For beginners that have always wanted to pursue improv, for the adventurous looking to try something new, and for the veterans looking to reconnect with the basics. Intro to Improv brings in basic concepts like listening, “Yes and,” sharing focus, relationships, and generosity. Intro to Improv does not have a performance component, so class energy will be focused on these building blocks, applying them to scene work, and having fun.

COMING SOON!

Level Two: Scene Work

Teacher: TBA

The Scene Work class builds on the fundamentals learned in the Intro to Improv class and introduces the importance of storytelling as it applies to the performance of scenes. It will stress working together and focus on techniques for starting scenes and developing interesting characters and situations that the audience cares about. It will also work on recognizing and dealing with common pitfalls improvisers face.
Pre-Requisite: Level One

TESTIMONIALS

“I intended to only take Level One improv class to get myself out of my comfort zone. Now here I am finishing Level Three! Improv is more fun than I realized. I’ve learned to play as an adult, and I’ve met new friends in the process. I highly recommend these classes to anyone.”

“Improv taught me that I don’t always have to plan and over-prepare for everything in life. If I just show up with a good attitude and work with the people around me, things will get done.” Manu S.

SIC Collectivist

“Improv Level One helped me learn to be more open. The reasons I took the class were to learn to think faster and feel more comfortable communicating with people in a fun and safe environment.  I learned that by letting go of my own agenda and my own rules for how I wanted a scenario to unfold naturally increased my response time.  Plus it helped me feel like I had a really great connection with whoever I was working with, which helped me feel more comfortable communicating in class as well as out in the rest of the world.” Karen K.

“I found improv class influenced every part of my life in a good way.  I am able to see people’s offers in life much better.  I see that simple is fun and funny, which is great.  I am way more open to the ordinary as a launching place for fun and frolicking. I loved improv level one.” Becca S.
