the joy & ease of Improv 2
|
This class picks up right where Improv 1 left off. We continue practicing the joyful, easeful approach to improvisation that strengthens your skills, expands your improv toolbox, and builds a community of trust and supported bravery. Our specific focus in Improv 2 is on confident risk-taking as we get more comfortable jumping gleefully into the unknown and selflessly supporting our teammates. In this class, we'll grow together with an experimental mindset that encourages students to jump first and figure it out afterwards. Let's really dive into the concepts of "Listen to your foot!" while exploring how we can be of most service to the scene and each other. Through short form games and longer scenework, we'll practice listening deeply and accepting offers, trusting the funny to find us (rather than playing for the joke,) thinking less and playing more, reframing winning and losing in improv, and finding and facilitating the fun.
Ready to continue the joyride?
All you need to do is jump and trust your friends to catch you!

*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.
