-About the Workshop-

If you're reading this, you're thinking of taking the plunge and trying out this workshop. But I bet you're worried that you're going to have to be hilarious right off the bat, and that you'll be judged cruelly by your peers. That's the nightmare scenario, and it might even be true at some workshops. But it's not the case at the TCS Impro Workshop.

My rule for the class is "Don't try to be funny- it comes later on its own." We focus on listening, accepting offers, and creating a story with a beginning, middle, and end, in a low-pressure environment. The work on recognizing negativity and the blocking of other's offers will change your life. You will be better, stronger, faster than before. No, seriously, it will. I'm not saying you'll hit enlightenment right off the bat, mind you... But it will help you be a more positive person, and one who listens to others before speaking. And that's gotta be a good thing, right?

-Requirements-

All native-level English speakers are welcome! And don't worry about your improv experience level- this is a class for all levels- from beginners to experienced players. If you aren't fluent in English this is NOT the class for you. Seriously. This is about comedy, and communication is key.

I don't mean you have to be a native speaker though! We have several non-native speakers in the class who have no problem communicating in English and we love them. I just mean that if you want to take this class to "practice" your English, you should try something else.

Another option if you speak fluent Japanese would be to check out www.itm.cc for excellent classes in Japanese taught by TCSj founder Jun Imai.

Who takes this workshop? Anyone interested in unleashing their creativity, or getting over a fear of public speaking, or just people looking for a good way to de-stress after work and have fun. We get people from all walks of life: teachers, stock brokers, computer engineers, students, directors- even a heart surgeon!

-Details-

What are you waiting for? Workshops are 1,000 yen, and we meet every Wednesday night, from 7-9pm at Our Space studio in Hatagaya. But check the schedule before coming! After the class, we order in pizza and have a drink at Our Space, which has a full bar.
