The name of the game in Foundation 6 is getting performance ready! The course culminates in a live performance, where your ensemble will showcase a format you’ve researched, shaped, and brought to life together.

In F6, improvisers will focus on:

• Building strong stage presence and learning how to engage an audience with confidence.
• Developing physicality and vocal variety to create dynamic characters and environments and build compelling scenes.
• Strengthening ensemble awareness and supporting one another in performance.
• Exploring how performing for an audience can transform energy, heighten commitment, and deepen the joy of improvisation.

At the end of Foundation 6, the coach will make a recommendation for each student about their next step — repeating Foundation 6 or moving to Performance Labs to continue the improviser's performance journey.
