Improvised creativity comes so naturally to us as children, but we often lose sight of its value as adults. Improv comedy training can help us begin to once again work out those creative "muscles", leading to more confident social interactions, stronger professional and personal relationships, and a regular outlet for joy in our lives.
Drawing from nine years and thousands of hours of teaching and coaching experience, our four-level long-form comedic improv curriculum is designed to inspire compelling, character driven scene work. Each level is eight weeks long, culminating in a showcase show in front of a live audience.
I had such an awesome time in Improv level 1 class with Dave Hamilton! Everyone in class is so much fun! And its awesome to just be in a space with a group of HAPPINESS!!!! Improv has definitely boosted my confidence!
