This class is a 7 week introduction to the world of long form improv! Absolutely zero experience is required to take this class!

Participants will learn how to listen better, improve memory skills, speak confidently and from the heart, and how to have better conversations. This class will show each participant how you can take these games and skills and connect them to every day life. Improvisational theater has been known to foster improved mental health through collaborative games and listening skills and the building of community and camaraderie through laughter.

Intermediate Performance Course

This course is designed for folks who want to perfect their game play in long form improv. Even if you’ve tried your hand at some of these skills before, this class will take your long form skills to the next level! This class will cover:

-How to edit a scene properly. Using sweep edits, how do you listen for the game of the scene and know when to end a scene?

-How to do walk-ons and tag-outs and group games so that they enhance a scene and not detract from the quality of the original scene idea.

-How to begin to tell a long form narratively, so that our characters and scene ideas can mix and mingle as the long form unfolds.

-How to make strong initiations and character choices and stick with your early ideas and trust your instincts.

-How to perfect our environment work. Where are we and how do we create a full image for our audience?

-Pantomime Skills: How can we work on our object work so that we enhance our communication with our scene partners and team and create an effective stage picture?

After working on all of these skills, Tracey will decide on a long form for the class that will showcase all of your talents at our Showcase!

Location: First Presbyterian Church of Forest Hills, 70-35 112th St, Queens, NY

Instructor: Kate DeFeo

Improv Essentials: Spoon River

This advanced narrative improv course will take all of your long form learning of grounded scenes, 2nd beats, clean edits and character development and allow you to create a fictional town and all of the people that move within it. This character monologue driven form builds until all of the characters meet in a final event at the end where some major happening is discovered! Skills covered in this course are: creating robust & physical characters, active listening to mine narrative choices, organic edits (how do we move away from sweep edits?), sharing the space with a group (the final scene involves your whole team), making organic discoveries and not being beholden to where you think the plot is going, setting and environment work.

Come create a town with us! At the end of the 7 weeks, there will be a showcase for family and friends.

Prerequisite: Beginner Performance and Intermediate Performance (previous experience from another program is also counted, just email us!)
