Learn how to improv!
Want to learn how to improvise as well as our ensemble members do?
The Improv Centre has been teaching the art of improvisation in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland for over 40 years. We want to give YOU that same improv training!
Our education programs will give you a firm grasp of the improv basics, confidence at the intermediate level, and a mastery of advanced techniques. We have 3 main types of courses: Core Classes, Workshops, and Specialty Workshops.
Core Classes are eight (8) hours over two days. Workshops are a shorter commitment, at just two (2) hours long.
Specialty workshops may vary based on the subject, scope, and time required.
We’re lucky that many of our talented performer are also incredibly capable teachers. We also host visiting teachers whenever we get the chance!
We ask that students complete our Core Classes in a linear order. All courses of a level must be completed for students to advance to the next. Classes are not graded, but we’ll recommend repeats for those who should have more practice.
For all classes unless explicitly stated, all students must be 19 years or older to participate.
Our classes are a place for our students to learn and have fun! Nobody is born being a great improviser – we understand that people have different skill sets, and that’s a good thing! You should come to class with that understanding too.
