About this Event

Improv should be fun. The more you're thinking about forms and special techniques, the further you can get away from the fun of making up a story with your scene partner.

Maybe you feel like you've hit a plateau in your improv, maybe you have specific skills you want to enhance that working on forms doesn't usually allow you to focus on, or maybe you just want an excuse to get out of the house on a weeknight.

Let's get back to the basics, let's find that fun, and work through those original improv techniques. Let's figure out the deeper meaning of agreement, work through initiations and responses to get our ideas out cleanly and concisely, and find more fun in the games we chose to play.


Class Day and Time: Mondays from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Class Show: TBD at the Sea Tea Comedy Theater


Prerequisites: Successful completion of Improv 301, or instructor approval. This is a performance level class. It's for the people who have played with forms, can navigate through a Monoscene, know how to initiate Spokane tag runs, hit those second beats hard in a Harold, and want to simplify and clarify their scene work.


Instructor: Matt Francis
