the joy & ease of Improv 2
|
This class picks up right where Improv 1 left off. We continue to practice the joyful, easeful approach to improvisation that strengthens your skills, expands your improv toolbox, and builds a community of trust. Our specific focus in Improv 2 is on more confident risk-taking as we get more comfortable jumping gleefully into the unknown and selflessly supporting our teammates. Let's really dive into the concepts of "Who needs you most?" and "Listen to your foot!" while exploring how we can be of most service to the scene and each other. Ready to continue the joyride?
All you need to do is jump and trust your friends to catch you!

About Your Teacher:
Mondays:
Katharine Daube is the creator and coordinator of HVC’s Sunday Improv Playdate. She loves the feeling of community and the spirit of foolishness that are found there. She currently performs with The Silver Lining, as well as HVC’s Championship Show and Family Show. She has fallen for improv because of its emphasis on collaboration, risk-taking, and general silliness. In addition to doing improv, Katharine teaches sociology, plays scrabble, and loves an early bedtime.
Tuesdays:
Kate Jopson is a teacher and performer at Happier Valley Comedy. She started improvising in Miami in 2013 and has performed in festivals in Miami, Sarasota, and Hartford. She has taught improv from ages "please don't let them start singing" to "please don't let them stop breathing." She currently performs with HVC's Not in Charge, 2nd Saturdays Presents, and Dirty Vanilla Box, a duo-show with Pam Victor. She often "makes it weird." Sometimes intentionally. She hates writing in the 3rd person but Scott is making her. WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT TO KNOW, SCOTT?!

*Happier Valley Comedy rents land that was stolen from Indigenous people, including the Pocumtuc and Nipmuc tribes. A land acknowledgement is not appropriate or adequate to address this injustice that continues to harm people today. Therefore, we have instituted an ongoing process of contributing to the preservation of the lands and cultures of Northeastern Indigenous Peoples. All class fees contain an additional $3 to benefit The Nolumbeka Project, a local nonprofit whose mission is dedicated to these goals.
