This introductory improv class covers the fundamentals of unscripted scene-based long-form comedy and lays the groundwork for our five-level training program.
We teach you to let go of your inner critic so you can make things up and have fun! Whether your goal is to perform on stage, improve public speaking, push yourself outside your comfort zone, or meet some fun people - this is the class for you!
Class Topics Include:
- Improv navigation systems "Yes, and…" and "If This, Then What?"
- Being in the moment
- Active listening
- Getting out of your head
- Supporting your scene partner
- Using emotions to heighten scenes
- Creating & interacting with your environment
- Using your body and voice to create memorable characters
