From Practice to Performance: Improv Level 2

You know the basics. Now it’s time to start using them.

Jersey Improv Lab’s six-week Level 2 workshop is designed for adults who have completed at least 12 hours of improv training and are ready to go deeper, both on and off stage.

This is where things start to click.

You’ll work with the same group each week, giving you time to get comfortable, build trust, and meaningfully improve your scene work over time. Instead of just learning concepts, you’ll start applying them i.e. making faster decisions, taking stronger initiations, and building deeper, more connected scenes.

Over six weeks, you’ll:

• Strengthen your scene work and make clearer, faster decisions
• Be heard and own the room
• Make bold choices without second-guessing
• Build more connected scenes with your scene partners
• Stay present and adaptable when things don’t go as planned
• Develop real ensemble chemistry within a consistent group

As the weeks go on, you’ll start to see how the pieces fit together and feel more comfortable being seen, taking risks, and stepping into the unknown.

The workshop ends with a live Armando-style improv showcase for friends and family to apply what you’ve been working on in front of a live audience.

You’ll also become part of a small but growing improv community here in Hoboken and Jersey City, with opportunities to keep practicing and performing without having to go into the city.

Early registrants will receive a highly discounted access to improv drop-in sessions leading up to the workshop ($7 per session instead of $30), so you can stay sharp and connected to the improv community between now and September.
