Commitment classes · Danforth, Toronto
Commit to a term and really level up.
In these 8-week classes you'll learn and play with the same group of people and the same instructor. You'll make closer connections, become part of the community, develop the fundamental improv skills, and — if you'd like to — start getting stage time.
The biggest myth about improv is that you need to be funny. What you need to be is yourself. For most of our students — whether comedians, actors, or real people — improv is a journey of self-discovery. And it's a lot of fun.
Whether you're an improviser wondering why you've hit a plateau, an actor who wants to get better at being in the moment, a manager who wants to be a more effective communicator, or you're just interested in human beings — this program is for you.
