We always strongly recommend that students start at Improv 101. Besides being a ton of fun, it gets to the heart of being playful and in the moment, something none of us ever master. And the differences in our improv style and teaching technique are clear right from the first day of Improv 101.

If you have previous improv experience and 101 truly doesn’t appeal or doesn’t work with your schedule and you are interested in working on scene work for short form games, we recommend starting at Improv 201, where we cover scene starts, characters, space work, status and more. If you are interested in studying scene work for narrative longform and you have over a year of improv experience under your belt (either as a performer or a student), we recommend starting at Improv 401, where we work on deep yes and, breaking the routine, physical storytelling, and creating a hero. We don’t recommend you start at Improv 301, 501 or 601 because it builds so strongly on the classes that come before it, so they’re not a good starting place.
