Your Improvisation Journey

This page provides an overview of the focus of your course this term. At the end of the term, your teacher will provide a recommendation on which course you should take next.

Rediscover Play 💫

  • Enthusiastically supporting each other's choices.

  • Confidently commiting to our own choices.

  • Connecting with other people.

  • Making and mirroring emotional choices.

  • Exercising our intuition and imagination.

  • Adapting to uncertain situations.

  • Demonstrating basic improvisational skills through short-form games, performed to each other and, ultimately, to an audience.

Make a Scene 💪

  • Playing from a place of joy and discovery.

  • Learning how to inspire others.

  • Deep tissue listening.

  • Feeling safe enough to be vulnerable.

  • Demonstrating interactive improvisational skills through a two-person scene, performed to each other and to an audience.

  • Facilitators may also explore additional skills or tools depending on the needs of the student cohort.

Developing a Practice

Once you have mastered Rediscover Play and Make a Scene, usually by attending each course more than once with different facilitators, we may recommend that you take an advanced course. Advanced courses may also be recommended to those who have learned improvisation elsewhere, have joined a performance team, or are otherwise active in the community.
