ExAb’s Three-Day Improv Intensives are fast, funny, and fabulous! Designed to provide supportive, low-stakes Improv training, students build essential Improv skills through games and performance exercises. We embrace flexible thinking, enthusiastic support for others’ ideas, and finding the funny in what’s already there through collaborative creation.
Mornings begin with simple Improv warm-ups and exercises to get participants on the same page. Short-Form Improv games and low-stakes performance opportunities (along with breaks for socializing and eating lunch) round out the day. If students wish, we will perform for friends and family at the end of the second day.
Students will be divided into groups based on their age. Appropriate for all levels of experience.
Takes place at ColdTowne Theater.

Improv for Teens: Finding the Game
Improv depends on listening to one another and saying “Yes!’ to one another’s ideas. But to create funnier scenes and more developed characters, we look for the unusual thing and heighten it. We call this “finding the game.” This week, we begin with Improv basics but focus on identifying and heightening the comedy in what’s already there. All levels welcome. Performance on the final day.
