This 6 week course will introduce you to your very first longform set! Absolutely zero experience is required to take this class!

Using collaborative games and exercises you will be introduced to the beginning skills of long form improv! Participants will learn how to listen better, improve memory skills, speak confidently and from the heart, and how to have better conversations. This class will show each participant how you can take these games and skills and connect them to every day life.  By the end of the 6 weeks, you will be able to do scenes which are grounded in active listening and “yes-and”thought and will be able to perform in your very first longform set!
