What is a Skill Module?

Skill Modules are four-week improv classes designed for improvisers looking to learn new skills, revisit old skills, or generally work on their craft. They are best suited for improvisers who have completed both levels of Highwire Improv's Fundamentals of Improv series, or equivalent training at another improv organization.
