IMPROV FUNDAMENTALS: NARRATIVE Once upon a time, there was an IMPROV
STUDENT WHO THOUGHT THEY COULD NEVER COME UP WITH ANY INTERESTING
STORIES. But one day, they took the IMPROV FUNDAMENTALS: NARRATIVE
CLASS AND EVERYTHING CHANGED! But what comes next? IMPROVISERS ARE NOT
ONLY THE ACTORS ON STAGE, but the writers and the directors, too. This
course focuses on what makes a good story, and gives you the skills
necessary to create one on your feet, out loud, in front of an
audience. Phew! That sounds like a lot, so wed better get started!
Great for writers and storytellers of all stripes! The Mopco IMPROV
FUNDAMENTALS WHEEL EACH OF THE FOUR CLASSES IN THE FUNDAMENTALS WHEEL
OFFERS WORK ON THE CORE TENETS OF IMPROV THROUGH A UNIQUE LENS. The
four classes are: Environment, Character, NARRATIVE, and Scene. These
reflect basic skill areas that good IMPROV DEMANDS, all using the same
core principles. You can jump into the wheel at any point and you
don't need to take them in any particular order. Performance Each
IMPROV FUNDAMENTALS AND MUSICAL IMPROV 6-Week course each has a unique
performance element that showcases the skills you focused on during
the class. You'll be able to show off to your friends and family
everything you've learned. The performance is not mandatory but we bet
you'll want to take part. Participation is dependant on consistent
attendance. FAQs Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the
event? 18. We offer youth classes for younger IMPROVISERS! Check out
our mopco.org/classes to find a class. How active are these classes?
Our classes involve a good amount of physical activity - you should
feel comfortable being on your feet for at least an hour. Please email
hey@mopco.org with any questions about accommodations for ability.
I’m feeling nervous about coming to my class. Should I still come?
Yes! Introverts and extroverts alike get nervous before their first
class. The good news is everyone in the class is here to grow and
celebrate creativity. We work to create a trusting and safe
environment for our students to explore IMPROVISATION. You don’t
need any special skills to do IMPROV AND WE WORK TO MAKE THAT CLEAR
RIGHT AT THE TOP OF CLASS WITH GAMES AND EXERCISES THAT SHOW YOU HOW
CREATIVE YOU ALREADY ARE. Your teacher won’t put you on the spot or
make you doing anything before you’re ready. What is your policy on
absences from class? After two absences, students will not be able to
participate in the performance at the end of the class. What are my
transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?
