Unlock your improv potential this summer with an intensive program at Brooklyn’s premier comedy theater. Develop your skills, overcome self-doubt, and embrace the thrill of live performance in a supportive environment. Join us for a transformative journey into the world of improv!
Levels 1-2: Intro to Improv & Free Your Mind
First time taking an improv class? You’re in the right place, Brooklyn’s top comedy theater and school!
The first half of this intensive will introduce new improvisers to the value of saying “Yes, and” to every idea (especially their own) to become joyful, fearless, and bold performers. Through games and exercises this intensive will teach students to react emotionally and honestly, to trust your gut, to support scene partners and embrace taking risks. These skills are essential to successful improvisation!
For the second half of this intensive, we’re cutting the naysaying voices in your head and slapping you out of whatever may be holding you back. We will look at how we sometimes bail on our choices out of a fear of making the “right or wrong choice" and to instead approach improv with a "fuck it / love it" mentality (because improv is one of the most wonderful things in the world if you don't treat it too seriously). We encourage your artistic freedom with methods to initiate scenes with an emotional point of view, to be specific and surprising in your choices, to support your scene partner, and to confidently navigate the vocabulary and concepts of long-form improv.
This intensive will move quickly, keep you on your feet, and challenge you with personal feedback.
It all culminates in a performance for the public.
