Current Classes
Beginning Improv w/Laura Mondays starting August 4
Welcome to this gentle and super playful introduction to the world of improv.
We'll focus on games and exercises designed to get us out of our judging minds and into a playful state of flow, and start exploring scene work while learning the basic elements that make improv work. You'll learn to think on your feet (which actually means to STOP thinking), trust your instincts, and work collaboratively with others. Expect lots of laughter, spontaneity, and unforgettable moments.
You don't consider yourself “naturally” quick, funny or outgoing? Perfect! You don't need to be to do improv, all you need to do is show up--truly! You will surprise yourself, then watch your confidence grow. Improv tools can help us be more comfortable with ourselves, thus enabling us to be more relaxed and engaged in our work, social situations or onstage, for those who perform or wish to.
Mostly it’s just really, really fun and we'll take good care of you.

TEEN IMPROV W/Jen wednesdays starting august 5
Our teen classes are a supportive, gentle and super fun exploration of the improv world
We explore the basic elements of what makes improv work through games and exercises, all designed to get students playful, open and supportive of one another.
Keeping in line with the ZipLine style of improv, students don't have to be quick, funny or outgoing to do improv—in fact they will be encouraged to slow down, listen and simply work together to create improv magic. Currently most students are between 13-15.

NEXT STEPS IMPROV w/JOSH Wednesdays starting July 29
Continuing where the beginning classes leaves off.
Here we start cementing the principles you’ve been learning: listening, saying yes to things, dropping your agenda and staying in the moment, and so on. We start exploring the physicality of improv and what goes into creating characters.
We also go deeper into what makes for a promising scene start and why some scenes flow and others are more challenging to navigate.
This is for continuing ZipLine improv students. If you have prior experience elsewhere, please contact us for a discussion so we can make sure you get into the right class!
