This is your way forward.
Why Improv 101 Works
Science backs it up: a 2020 study in Thinking Skills and Creativity found that just 20 minutes of improv boosts creativity, well-being, and your ability to handle the unknown. It also helps with social anxiety.
In Improv 101, you’ll build those same muscles. You’ll learn how to stay present, trust your gut, and turn mistakes into magic. And you’ll do it with a room full of supportive people who are just as curious—and just as ready.
You don’t need to be outgoing. You don’t need to be clever. You just need to show up.
This class changes people. It’ll change you too.
What You’ll Actually Learn
You’ll train bold choices, deep listening, trust, and spontaneity. You’ll tell stories, play games, and connect with people in real time.
Confidence, clarity, presence—it all gets stronger here.
Built for Beginners. Open to Everyone.
Improv isn’t just for actors. Most of our students are new to the stage—and that’s the point. They come from every background: teachers, creatives, engineers, expats, introverts.
What they have in common is this: they want something different. They want to feel more alive. And they’re ready to try something new to get there.
Improv 101 creates a space where risk feels safe, overthinking quiets down, and self-trust starts to return.
You don’t have to perform to transform.
Try It, Feel the Shift
You’ll laugh. You’ll mess up. You’ll do something you didn’t think you could. That’s the point. You won’t just understand improv—you’ll feel it.
You’ll feel the shift by the end of your first class.
