About this Event

Welcome to the wonderful world of improv comedy!

Could you imagine yourself:

  • More confident?
  • Connecting better with other people?
  • Comfortable in unexpected situations?
  • Making up things on the spot?

We know that you can, and this class will show you how! Learn the fundamentals of improv comedy with two skilled and supportive instructors. We'll play some very silly games, learn how to create characters, explore techniques to collaborate and create as a team, and even perform full improvised scenes together!

Of course, you won't be facing this new experience alone - you'll be learning these new skills with a team of new improvisers, and by the end you'll be ready to put on a showcase for your friends, family, and fans!

About this class:

Over six weeks, you will learn the fundamentals of improv comedy through a combination of warm-ups, games, exercises, and practice scenes. Highwire Improv's expert instructors will be with you every step of the way, holding the space to make silly choices, explore comedy, and learn how to create art together. No performance, acting, or comedy experience is required - but by the end you will be confident and ready to show off your new skills!

Each class session will run from 6:30-8:30pm ET, with optional time available after class to discuss and debrief:

  • Week 1 (March 11): Intro to Improv
  • Week 2 (March 18): Base Reality
  • Week 3 (March 25): Physicality
  • Week 4 (April 1): Characters
  • Week 5 (April 8): Emotion and Relationship
  • Week 6 (April 15): Putting it All Together
