Learning to be Funny

Selected By: Alex

The last improv event I scheduled seemed very popular, and some people expressed that it would be a good idea to schedule an event where we learn how to do improv... so here it is! I've arranged for Jason Jedrusiak to teach an improv class for beginners at the Democracy Center. Jason has several years of experience performing improv in various venues throughout the Boston area, and is also in charge of the Cambridge Improv Incubator where he has been teaching improv for over five years. The lesson will be from 11-1 and will be geared specifically towards people who have never performed improv before and would like to learn the basics. This goal is to have us be able to perform short scenes by the end of class.

There is a nominal $8 fee per person to reimburse Jason for his time (as well as our renting the space from the Democracy Center). Space is limited, so please do not RSVP unless you are fairly certain that you can make it.

EDIT - Please note that the time of this meetup has been changed to 11-1 PM due to a scheduling conflict.

Wow, I hadn't realized how much goes into making the unscripted world of improv work. I learned about the blue line, the importance of character and some of the rules. After today I can safely... [tapped out]

I had a great time, and learned a lot with a great group of people. I would definitely do this again.

Improv is pleasantly refreshing... I had a lot of fun, even though I spent most of the day as a big, blue genie ;)
