Improv 411: Advanced Basics - Performance-Level Improv Comedy Course

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.
