Class: Level 1 Long-Form Improv (Tuesdays, 8-10 pm; 9 weeks)

This introductory improv class covers the fundamentals of unscripted scene-based long-form comedy, laying 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 you aim to perform on stage, improve public speaking, push yourself outside your comfort zone, or meet some fun people, this class is 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

This nine-week IN-PERSON course is designed for beginning improvisers. You don't need any performance experience!

The class will be held on Tuesdays, 8 - 10 pm, starting 10/22/24. We will not have class Thanksgiving week (11/24 - 12/1) or during the Holiday Break (12/16 - 1/2). Class dates may be adjusted based on weather cancellations or other unforeseen circumstances.
