Why improv?

Improvisation is the new black. High schools, universities and business colleges are now teaching improvisation as a mandatory skill for being creative, collaborative and for surviving in a new fast changing world. Improvisation teaches you to be confident, outgoing, inventive, fearless, not to be afraid of the unknown, improves presentation, public speaking and social skills, and teaches you that you are all you need.

We’ve been practicing improv for over 20 years. All of our classes and are taught by senior professional trainers and practitioners (no student teachers), from course material we’ve developed in–house, incorporating the latest research and developments from around the world. All of which teaches you better collaboration, empathy, fine tunes listening and relationship skills, gives you or improves public speaking skills, and to top it all off makes you funnier. Why are we different?
