Course Description
Audience participation is magical! The audience leans in, the volunteer gets the spotlight, and truly anything can happen. In this four-week course, participants will explore audience-friendly setups and learn how to make the experience safe, comfortable, and rewarding for improvisors and volunteers alike. This course is suitable for improvisors with at least six months of experience (which may include classes and/or regular jams). You should have some short-form experience, and have performed improv in front of an audience at least once. *This course will have a class showcase after the four-week session has concluded. Time and location to be determined.* Registration notes Two $5 access tickets are available for this course. These places are intended for members of the Ottawa improv community who are in need of financial assistance and/or whose identities are underrepresented in the community.
