Advanced Improv: Back to Basics for Experienced Improvisers

Refresh your tools and build off of them to become a more confident performer!

Mondays, 7-10pmIn Person

Has it been a while since you last did improv? Did you graduate Level Five Improv and would love a chance to revisit some of the skills you learned in early levels? Are you looking for a way to get back onto the stage? 

In this seven week class, students will reactivate their prior improv experience and refresh the tools they need to be successful on stage. Each week, students will return to topics first learned in the Core Improv Program at Stomping Ground, now with the eyes of more experienced improvisers. Each three hour class will culminate in a run of scenes to make sure students are getting the reps they need! This class will culminate in a run of shows at Stomping Ground Comedy Theater with notes from their instructor. The prerequisite for this class is completion of Level Five Improv, including the run of shows, or the equivalent training at another Training Center with permission from the Training Center Director.

Topics in the course:

  • Listening, Support, Spontaneity, Agreement
  • The First Moment: Strategies of Initiation and Who, What, Where
  • Committing Emotionally and Raising the Stakes
  • Playing Big Characters with Voice, Physicality, and Point of View
  • Ensemble Work and Group Scenes
  • Edits, Walk Ons, Tag Outs
  • Performing the Show and Incorporating Feedback

All sales are final. Classes are non-refundable but enrollment can be deferred to a future term. All students must adhere to policies in the Stomping Ground Student Handbook. Must be 18 years or older to enroll, unless otherwise stated.

All class times are Central Standard Time (CST).
