What is short-form improv?
Simply put, short-form is short funny improvised games and scenes. If you love improv comedy (a la “Whose Line is it Anyway”), lightning-fast reactions, and test your comfort zone while having a ton of fun, then this is for you.
Each session is a stand-alone lesson that focuses on various areas – scene work, character work, stage presence, etc. Typically includes warm-up games and various short-form improv scenes and exercises that work on performance and core skills.
Note:
Please register in advance before coming to class. We want to keep you informed in case of any last-minute changes.
