NEW ELECTIVE CLASSES - Open to anyone who has taken at least 3 levels at any improv school
An Improv education is a zigzagging march of successes and failures; but it doesn’t need to be a slog through chaos and the dark where we scrap individuality and our sense of humor to survive and come out the other end.
Instructors: Tom Kelley & Anne Veal
Mondays November 14th - December 19th, 7-10
Dive into an acting class focused on the skills most useful for improv: being present in the moment, emotional truthfulness, character development and psychology, vulnerability, and connecting with your partner onstage. Students will tackle monologues and scripted scenes, finally coming back to earnest, grounded, and emotionally vulnerable improvised scenes.
This class is begin-termediate: class will start with the fundamentals and quickly develop into an intermediate class keeping pace with the students' progression. No formalized acting training is required, but individualized feedback will ensure that even those with training will be spurred to growth.

Instructor: Chris Roberti
Sundays December 4th - 18th, 11am-2pm
This class is focused on breaking out of our improv ruts, saying yes to ourselves, our scene, and our partners. This three week workshop is devised to create a culture of yes, balancing agreement with imagination, placing the same value on acceptance as we would creativity. Yes takes us further faster and gives our scenes thrust and lift and life.

Improv to Sketch
Instructors: Christian Capozzoli & Andrew Coalson
Mondays November 28th - January 30th, 7-10
(No class December 26th or January 2nd)
The Reckless approach to sketch uses improv to create monstrously funny material that is then packaged into a dynamic/organic piece that is as refreshing and fun as it is theatrical. Create, heighten, refine, tweak, massage, braid, weave, sculpt your ideas into a slick piece of theatre.
The first half of the class will be dedicated to generating material with the holiday break used to memorize our roles, and the last few weeks will be dedicated to staging and refining our pieces.
