About This Event

Come learn tools, guidelines and structures that will help you create your very own improvised sketches! Ever wondered how comedians create sketch comedy? Intrigued about what makes a good scene? Just want to be silly and have fun? Then Beginners Improv is for you! Over a two hour session with an experienced improviser you'll learn the secrets behind improvisation taught in the famous schools of Chicago, New York and Los Angeles and seen on screen in just about every sketch show, sitcom and comedy movie made today! Want to make some comedy reels? There's nothing quicker for generating ideas and drafts than improv! Sessions will alternate between relationship-based improv and game-of-the-scene based improv so you can get a feel for both and work out which one works best for you. In relationship-based classes you'll learn how to slowly build environments and realistic characters, explore relationships, find unusual incongruences, increase and relieve tension and how to end scenes in satisfying ways. In contrast, in game-of-the-scene based improv, you'll learn how to quickly build base realities, establish and frame premises, heighten and explore comedic ideas, tilt them in exciting and unexpected directions and, finally, how to end them on a high! But the best part? You'll make a bunch of new people who all share the same goal - to have fun and make each other laugh. Keep coming back each week and you and your new friends will soon have the skills to improvise an entire show! Want to find out more?
