Improv 101: Introduction to Improvisation

In our Improv 101 Class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of improvisation!  Through warm-ups, exercises and games, we help improve skills such as listening, teamwork, trust, public speaking, instinct, and agreement, all while laughing and learning.

 

Improv 202: Scene Work

In our Improv 202 Class, you’ll build on the fundamentals of Improv 101!  This level will focus specifically on scene work and how it is applied to short form comedic scene structures. (Prerequisite: Improv 101, or comparable improv training)

 

Improv 303: Games

Improv 303 applies your improv learning to ComedySportz’s catalog of short-form games. Accelerate your improv abilities with the speed and agility of ComedySportz-style performance.

Improv 404: Styles and Genres

Improv 404 focuses on successfully using genre in performance.
