No long-term commitment. Fast-paced reps. Targeted feedback to sharpen your scenes and keep your improv skills sharp.
WHAT ARE DROP-IN WORKSHOPS?
Level 2 drop-in workshops are flexible, drop-in style practice sessions designed for improvisers who understand the basics and want to push their craft further.
Unlike our Intro to Improv workshops, we skip the icebreakers and jump straight into high-rep scene work, specialized drills, and active coaching. Whether you’re aiming for team auditions, prepping for mainstage shows, or just looking for a weekly space to play hard and fail fast, our drop-in workshops are where you refine your tools.
WHAT WE WORK ON
Every session rotates focus so you get target practice on specific elements of longform and shortform improv. You will explore character development, object work, and narrative structure. Each week brings fresh challenges designed to sharpen your comedic instincts and build confidence on stage.
HOW A TYPICAL SESSION WORKS
- 00–05 MIN | Safety Check & Warmup: A quick check-in to see how the group is feeling and to get the blood flowing.
- 05–55 MIN | Target Drills: Focused exercises isolating a single skill (e.g., edits, emotional heightening, or object work).
- 55-60 MIN | Cool Down & Debrief: Notes, takeaways, and local jam/show announcements.
