About this Event

Overview

So you’ve caught the improv bug—and now you’re ready to build something of your own.

Cast & Conquer is a 4-week intermediate course designed to help improvisers take the leap from classmate to castmate. Whether you’re forming a brand-new indie team or want to strengthen an existing group, this course gives you the tools to create a sustainable, creative, and fun ensemble.

You can join this class with friends you want to make a group with, or solo to find those like-minded people you want make a group with - it's up to you!

Each class will include games and exercises to get us feeling loose and inspire fun, and then dive us into the topic of the day. Additionally, we suggest a notebook and pen for this course; we'll go through practical logistics of group formation and running.As always, you will be on your feet, active, trying and playing - laughs are guaranteed!

What have our past students said about TBC classes?

" A part of me didn't want it to finish. It was such great experience and it really helped me to explore the different area of my brain."

" Really so grateful that I hopped in - the learning has been great and this has been some much needed joy, silliness and connection with new pals."

"I have never felt safer to express myself, and every workshop, every class, has built my confidence to show up unapologetically."
