BIPOC FREE Intro to Improv 6 week class with Eric Simons

YOU MUST APPLY TO BE PART OF THE CLASS

This intro to improv comedy class is exclusive to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) students! Over 6 weeks you’ll learn the foundations of the Kickstand improv philosophy like how to listen, how to “yes and” your classmates’ ideas, and how to identify and hone your comedic voice--all in a fun and nonjudgmental space. Whether you have years of acting experience or have never cracked a joke, whether you’re an extrovert or an introvert, all backgrounds are welcome. This class is a space for you to blow off steam, meet new people, stretch your creative abilities, and learn a new skill!

*Kickstand's BIPOC improv track is currently supported through Level 3. After that, students can pay what they want for Level 4 and for Advanced Study, where students can learn and apply their skills to different formats. Each week of class builds on the previous one, and each Level builds on the Level before.

*Level 1 includes 6 weeks of instruction with 2.5 hours of instruction each week.
