Level 2 Short Form Class
Learn improv like how they do on 'Whose Line Is It Anyway'! This Level 2 class will be some of the most fun you've ever had - We Promise!
In this Short Form Improv Class, you will learn the basics of comedic improvisation & slowly be guided through rudimentary exercises and improv games to develop instant recall, muscle memory, and basic Scene Work - culminating in your Class Graduation Show performing actual Short Form Games in front of friends and family!
What You Can Expect To Get Out Of This Class:
• Learn How To Improvise In A Theatrical Performance Space
• Understand How Comedy Works
• Develop Skills In Order To Transform Yourself Into An Improviser
• Rediscover Your Inner-Child Using "Play" To Develop Creativity
• Gain Confidence With Public Speaking
• Break Out Of Your Shell
• Improve Communication
• Reinforce How To Support Your Team & Collaboration
• Develop The Muscle Of Commitment
• Understand How To Make Stronger Choices
• Laughing. Lots And Lots Of Laughing!
A Few Things to Keep in Mind:
• Class will be held in Midtown Manhattan (TBA)
• We will be moving around the space and on our feet for a good portion of class, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes and clothing that allows you to move around freely
• Keep an open mind, and be willing to participate - even if you think what we're doing is a little ridiculous - because I promise you that it will be!
• This is a judgment-free zone! We ask that all participants commit to providing an inclusive space for all to feel comfortable through the use of inclusive language, respect of personal boundaries, and omission of controversial topics. Any person(s) exhibiting behavior that becomes explicitly non-supportive, judgmental, or problematic might be asked to leave.
About Your Instructor(s):
Mike Brown has been teaching improv since 2011. He taught at The People's Improv Theater for 3 years before going on tour with BeerProv aboard the MSC Meraviglia Cruise Ship performing Short Form Improv (Whose Line Is It Anyway) nightly. He developed his own signature style of improvisation (Solo Improv), and spent 10+ years traveling the globe performing in nearly every improv festival imaginable. He also met his wife, Kim, in improv class! He's got plenty of stories to regale you with, so maybe you should ask him about some of them sometime!
