WHY THE IMPROV DOJO SCENE LAB?
Improv is an art. It is an approach to creating theater without a
script and in the moment. A Dojo is a place where you can study the
way - in this case the way of improv (or creating theater minus the
script). The Improv Dojo Scene Lab gives you a space to play, explore
and have fun in a safe and supportive environment.
FOR IMPROVISORS LOOKING TO REFINE THEIR SCENEWORK
You'll do scenes, scenes and more scenes. You’ll happily walk away
with stronger skills. Some prior training is required for this class.
Prior experience practicing 2 person scenes is required. We consider
this serious play or focused fun. Each session you’ll have a ton fun
and make new friends..
IMPROV DOJO IS SUPER FLEXIBLE
It’s a drop-in class. You sign-up and pay by the class. So you can
try it once and never look back. Or you might just find yourself
becoming a regular. Come to a single session or come and play every
week the choice is yours.
GREAT GREAT PRICE
Trying something new can be scary enough. The last thing you want to
do is to commit to something long term before trying it out. The
IMPROV DOJO IS A SUPER CHEAP WAY TO TRY IMPROV OR TO DO IT ON A
REGULAR BASIS WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK. Class is $20. Online
pre-registration required. Online tickets are available up to class
start time. Door tickets are available. Door tickets are $20 at the
door cash only.
WHY IS THE IMPROV DOJO SCENE LAB MORE THAN THE IMPROV DOJO?
We want a smaller class and we want to focus more on scenes. The
IMPROV DOJO SCENE LAB IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE MORE PERSONAL ATTENTION
AND TO GIVE YOU MORE INDIVIDUAL FEEDBACK ON YOUR SCENES.
MEET THE PAN COMMUNITY
You never know who you’re going to meet when you attend a drop-in
class. Sometimes it helps to learn by playing with more experienced
players. The Improv Dojo is a mixed level class. The class is a mix of
members from Pan’s Playground Troupes, performing troupes, and
others new to improv. You’ll get to play and practice with a wide
range of people. If you want to talk more improv with your new friends
- Luca’s is a block away.
LEARN FROM EXPERIENCED TEACHERS
Learning can be tough. It helps to know your teach can not only teach
but also knows what it is like to practice and perform. All of Pan’s
teachers perform monthly.
FUN IS GUARANTEED
Paying for a class you don’t enjoy is icky. Icky isn’t fun. We
don’t want you to feel icky. If you don’t like the class we’ll
gladly refund your class fee. Email us after class and we’ll happily
refund your class fee. No questions asked.
GENTLE LEARNING
Being creative takes courage. Being creative and doing something new
with new people takes more courage. We remember what it was like to be
a beginner. The Improv Dojo sessions are designed to let you warm-up,
get to know other players and to explore without feeling pressured.
You’ll be treated with respect.
SHARPEN YOUR SKILLS
Learning in a hyper competitive environment is tough. It takes the fun
out of IMPROV. The IMPROV DOJO II - Scene Work Lab focuses on scenes.
We suggest some prior IMPROV EXPERIENCE. We focus on teamwork, support
and making your partner look like “a poet, artist and genius”. We
also ask you do the same for your scene partners.
