Class Experience

It doesn't matter if you've improvised a zillion times or if you're not even sure what comedy improv is.

It doesn't matter if you've memorized scenes from "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" or if you've only seen your friends perform improv once.

It doesn't matter if you're the class clown or if you feel kind of shy.

Everyone will laugh and learn together.

For just one game. We'll go over the rules and then play it together, learning as we go.

Here's what's coming up:

Good Advice, Bad Advice, Irrelevant Advice
Old Job, New Job
World's Worst
I Am A Tree

And, we will laugh. We will definitely laugh!

Learning Goals

Students will learn and put into practice the rules of improvisation.

Students will learn how to focus and really listen to partners. They can expect to learn the principles of dramatic conflict.

Most importantly, they will learn to say "yes" and find how to add on to--and not reject--others' ideas.

Other Details

External Resources

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

Master's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from UC San Diego

I have an MFA in Directing and a certificate in clowning and commedia dell'arte. I've participated in improv comedy and taught it at middle schools, high schools, and universities for years.

My favorite moment doing improv was at a high school where I planned with one of the students in advance to argue over one of the games at the Faculty/Student Improv Comedy Night. We kept bickering over the course of the event until he ultimately ran at me, tackled me, and we rolled into the orchestra pit. It became the stuff of legends. I never told anyone it was planned and, as far as I know, neither did he.
