Learn how to create spontaneous stories live on stage. Although narrative improv uses similar techniques as other styles, it follows different patterns — and this 8-week course introduces you to the essential skills to do it confidently.
By the end of the course, you will know how to create fascinating and spontaneous stories on the spot. In addition, you will have exercised skills in building engaging worlds, story structure, and how to follow consequential actions to create a narrative, as well as learn the characteristics necessary for a good protagonist (or villain).

🗂️ FAQ: Narrative 101
📈 What is an "advanced improviser"?
An advanced improviser has experience performing or practicing longform formats. They can sustain two-person scenes, make callbacks in the moment, and confidently use edits like sweeps and tag-outs. If you’re unsure if this applies to you, feel free to reach out for clarification.
📅 What if I have to miss a class?
While we encourage full attendance to get the most out of the course, we understand that life happens. Missing more than two classes may prevent you from successfully completing the course, as key concepts build week by week.
🎭 Do I have to perform in the showcase?
The showcase is a chance to apply what you’ve learned in front of a friendly audience. While participation is strongly encouraged, it’s not mandatory.
