Thursdays 1pm-3pm — Sept 28-Oct 2

Continuing where the beginning classes leaves off.

Here we start cementing the principles you’ve been learning: listening, saying yes to things, dropping your agenda and staying in the moment, and so on. We start exploring the physicality of improv and what goes into creating characters.

We also go deeper into what makes for a promising scene start and why some scenes flow and others are more challenging to navigate.

This is for continuing ZipLine improv students. If you have prior experience elsewhere, please contact us for a discussion so we can make sure you get into the right class!
