Free Your Mind

This class is limited to 16 students.

Love what’s happening onstage and you’re bound to have fun and fearless improvisation.

This class will help remind you what you love about improv, slap you out of whatever may be holding you back, and cut out the naysaying voices in your head that. We will look at how we sometimes bail on our choices out of a fear of making the “right or wrong choice" and to instead approach improv with a "fuck it / love it" mentality (because improv is one of the most wonderful things in the world if you don't treat it too seriously). This class encourages your artistic freedom with methods to initiate scenes with an emotional point of view, to be specific and surprising in your choices, to support your scene partner, and to confidently navigate the vocabulary and concepts of long-form improv. This class will move quickly, keep you on your feet, and challenge you with personal feedback.

This class culminates in a performance for the public.

Testimonial:

Micah has a really strong sense that I trust for what’s interesting, what is good, and what to do to get there. I thought when he gave constructive feedback to build towards those high level goals that was always really illuminating.
