Improv Comedy: The Short and Long of It
Learn the basics of improvisation and then start doing it! We will cover
short and long form improv as well as games like you'd see on Who's Line is
it Anyway? Lecturing will be kept to a minimum as this is a subject best
learned through actual practice. All skill levels welcomed: from beginners to
salty veterens.
Quickly and Fluidly Adapting to Changing Circumstances....Improvising?
Hey folks,
So...due to low attendance, I have decided to cancel this class and try again next session. I really appreciate the folks who came out and I'm sorry to have to do this, but we really need at least 5 or 6 people for this class to work properly.
I'm confident that next session will be about 1000% better, though. I will be a bit more on the ball about things (including knowing how to email the class, something of marginal importance!) and we'll all have more time to get ready and make room in our schedules.
In the mean time, if you just can't wait until February for a taste of Improv, there are several local theaters with excellent (and pretty reasonably priced) improv shows. Brave New Workshop and ComedySportz are two favorites, but I'm sure there are others as well.
Additionally, I would recommend the book Truth in Comedy. It is hands-down the best book about improvisation out there and I draw most of my lessons, games, and theory from there. It's not required for the class, obviously, but it's enormously helpful.
Thanks to everyone who signed up for this class and a double thanks to everyone who actually showed up for it. Stay sane, stay warm, and I'll see you in February!

Hey folks,
Still working on securing us a permanent home, but for now, let's meet at the Walker Church at 2pm.
Walker Community United Methodist Church
3104 16th Ave S
It'll be a short class because another group has the space at 3:30, but we can finally meet one another and get things moving. Don't worry if you haven't made it to any classes so far, there's still plenty of time to get in and get going.
See you tomorrow!
