Cost: $150 for the series

Beginning Improv 6-Week Series

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!

Six Thursdays August 31 - October 5

6:00pm-8:00pm

In this series we will continue where the beginning course ends. It's still early days but you're more comfortable and ready to layer on some more skills. We'll start to explore character and Space Object work (miming things that aren't there) and get more into scene work, where we'll delve into the elements that set a scene off in the right direction. We'll continue with games and exercises that focus on listening and responding, and examining why "daring to be ordinary" and not trying to be clever and funny end up making for the most satisfying scenes.

Note: If you are new to ZipLine Improv and want to make sure this class is the right fit for you, get in touch.
