This course is an introduction to long-form improvisation, based on the
style developed by The iO Theater and The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre.
We will start with a focus on the fundamentals - agreement, listening, and
support - as well as the thing that should come across in every scene: the
fun. We will also get into things like establishing the reality of the
scene, connecting with your scene partner, and heightening based off
game/premise.

This class is designed for beginners up to those with some short form or
long form improv experience.

Each week we will develop your group and individual skills through scene
work and exercises.

The class will end in a class show at Imposters Theater.

*To ensure everyone has a fun and safe experience, we ask that you show
proof of vaccination. Thank you for understanding.*
