Improv Workshops
Intro to Improv – FOU Provides a comfortable, judgment free, and creative environment in which to explore the fundamentals of improvisation. Using group games and exercises that any novice can master, this workshop is ideal for discovering “what improv is”. Perfect for schools, camps, clubs, cruise-line activities, theatre companies, or anyone who wants to give this fast growing art form a try. This workshop can be tailored to any age group or experience level, and is designed to be fun and relaxed. So put on some comfortable clothes, and leave all your insecurities at the door!
Short Form Improv for Performance – This workshop is for any group or improv troupe who is ready to learn how to use the gimmicks of the game, explore the concepts of scene work fundamentals, and learn the FOU method of approaching improvisation. We emphasize focus, clear choices, characters, honesty in the reality of the moment, and how to use team work to identify what the scene is about. The FOU approach is based on many schools of thought, including IO (formerly Improv Olympic), The Annoyance Theatre, Strike Force, Second City, UCB and Viola Spolin. Our combined years of training have been put into practical application by running full time open-run short form improv shows since 1996. This on stage experience has been invaluable in learning what works and what does not. Let the highly skilled FOU instructors help transform your group from good to great.
Advanced Improv Technique – this workshop is reserved for those with a minimum of 2 years of stage experience in improv performance. Delve into the world of advanced theory and game play taught by instructors who have the training and experience to show you how to use the gimmicks of the games to your advantage. Combine that with advanced side-coaching in scene work and this is a workshop for those who are serious about becoming stronger improvisers who consistently make stronger choices. This is a master-class, therefore a sound understanding of the fundamentals of improvisation are required and is ideal for any professional improv troupe looking to further their development with a fresh new perspective.
