Get unstuck and start scenes with clarity (more than one way)

  • Do lots of two-person scenes with side-coaching + targeted feedback
  • Build stronger instincts through repetition (the fastest way to level up)
  • Leave with a repeatable process you can apply to any scene

Taught by INNY Award–Winning Improv Coach Bill Chott

​(The Ringer,Disney'sWizards of Waverly Place, SNL)



“Students come for the laughs—and stay for the skill-building and support.”
“One of the best classes I’ve ever taken! A great place to learn improv skills…”



​Prerequisite: Improv Trick’s Beginning class or previous improv training.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN Starting the Scene—without guessing | You’ll learn multiple approaches to starting scenes so you can choose what works in the moment (and stop relying on one “safe” move).


The Law of Choice We’ll explore a lesser-known “Law of Improv”: The Law of Choice—and you’ll feel it click through a high volume of scenes, feedback, and side-coaching.
