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!

ABOUT THE COACH

Josh Jobrack grew up in Sebastopol and has been nurturing his love of improv for more than a decade and performing for the last three years. His influences and inspirations include both the BATS Improv and UCB (Upright Citizen’s Brigade) styles of improv, and performs regularly with StandProv and Evil Improv, where he also leads practice sessions. If asked, he’d say he’s all about collaboration, playfulness, and finding the magic in making something out of nothing.

As an improv teacher he is patient, supportive, and playful, and right in line with ZipLine’s aim to have beginners feel safe trying things, learning to say “Yes, And,” and getting comfortable with being present—even when things don’t go as planned. His goal is to help students gain confidence, understand the fundamentals of improv, and feel encouraged to continue exploring the art form.
