After honing required improv skills such as listening, investing emotionally, building patterns, and working organically in groups, we will tackle some Chicago-style "long-form" improv. Final class will be a performance.

COACHING

Attention improv troupes, teams, and duos!  All of us need honest feedback to become better improvisers.  That feedback needs to come from someone experienced looking AT your show, not from within your ranks.   We've been there! We can help!  Just ask!
