Improv Classes
YES,
AND!
Benefits of improv
The main rule of improv is "Yes, And" for good reason - it highlights the importance of working together and building something positive from that foundation. Without that teamwork & agreement, the whole thing falls apart! Being able to recognize offers through active listening then creating something together are skills that transcend performance and seep into everyday life.
​
Improv isn't all about being funny (although we do have A LOT of fun) - many of our students enroll in our classes to gain more confidence in public speaking, to enhance their communication skills, and to boost their creativity. Studies have shown that improv also helps to reduce anxiety, stress, and uncertainty intolerance. Whether your end goals are to perform or to just gain more soft skills, we are here to support you every step of the way!

The Philosophy of Musical Improv
Sure, we've all seen classes on HOW to sing...but WHY do we sing? This class breaks open how songs function within larger scenes, demystifying the "wow!" factor that makes musical improv look like pure stage magic. Students will dive deeper into the emotional journey of songs, learn how to be a killer backup dancer without stealing the spotlight, and explore some rarely-played musical games and formats. Whether you're a seasoned musical improviser, or you've only sung a few times and are tentatively interested in learning more, this is the class for you! Prerequisite: BCC's Shortform Musical Improv or an equivalent course from another theater. Instructor approval is also considered for individuals with improv experience.
