Intro to Longform Improv for Adults

A six-week class focused on learning the founding principles of longform improv as performed in Chicago and NYC. About our Curriculum Our teaching approach and philosophy centers on Chicago/NYC style "longform" scene improvisation, which focuses on character development, collaborative agreement and world-building similar to what is used in shows like This Week Sucked and Breeders. Some of the most famous actors and comedians you see today were taught longform improvisation, including main characters in Ted Lasso, 30Rock, The Office, MST3K and others. In this six-week class we will focus on a blend of introductory concepts (learning the foundations of improvised scene work through "Yes, And") and building on general agreement to create rich scenes. This class is geared towards both new students and those wishing to increase their longform improvisation competency. Students will have the ability to collaborate with others in a safe, fun environment with the goal of ending the class with the ability to partner in an improvised scene. This class does not require prior improv experience. All students should be comfortable with in-class participation. There is room for 10 students total, and we will need at least 6 students signed up for the class to make. Class Schedule Classes will be held Mondays 6:00-7:30, November 2- December 14th Student Information Students are eligible to attend shows during their active session for free; available tickets are released at 10 min prior to showtime.
