Learn the art of improv comedy at the Sherbino! The Improv 101 Series meets once a month, October–April, for fun, fast-paced games and exercises that boost creativity, confidence, and connection. No experience needed — just come ready to laugh!
$90 for series or $15 per class (please register in advance online or at the 610 Arts Collective – we don’t have people on site to deal with registration and $$!)
Here is an outline of the sessions:
October 13 – Confidence and Acceptance: “Yes And”. An improviser needs to be able to make bold choices and to stand by those choices. Improvisers need to accept and embrace each other’s choices.
November 10 – Attention and Memory: Listening and Projection. “To Be Interesting, Be Interested!”
December 8 – Playing in Space: Create Your World and “Be Specific”. When we see, touch, smell, hear and REACT to our environment, the audience can, too.
January 12 – Playing from Emotion: Feel and Heighten the Feeling. Emotion Should be at the Core of Our Improvisation.
February 9 – Active Endowments for Emotional Reactions: Instead of Talking About it, Physicalize It!
March 9 – The Why: Allowing the Audience to Understand a Scene. What is the underlying motivation, emotion, and justification for your actions and choices?
April 13 – Show for Friends and Family
Instructors: Eric Constantineau and Andrea Sokolowski
Class cap: 16 people – Register in advance, please!
