Improv 3 & 4 (Northeast)
Geared towards intermediate level improvisors [all levels are still welcome!], this class will focus particularly on team and individual growth. We will intentionally implement a culture of Improv's "Yes, And" philosophy to build confidence both in improv/theatrical performance and everyday life. A further point of emphasis in this class will be stage time and getting improv reps on stage.
Through consistent instructor feedback to the team and individuals, the class will draw upon foundational improv concepts and exercises from seminal texts, ranging from Keith Johnstone to the UCB to add to the student's skill sets. Students are expected to bring a mindset of learning, continuous improvement, and a "yes, and" attitude.
To see maximum progress within the 8 week semester, students are allowed and encouraged to take both classes, Improv 1 & 2 and Improv 3 & 4.
Together, we will work as a team getting in a ton of improv repetitions on stage, building trust, and growing as improvisors, performers, and teammates.

Brian Lyew - Twin Cities improvisor and enthusiast. He believes the world needs more of Improv's intentional culture of "Yes, And" to find agreement. Having taught improv before, here is what some students had to say about reaching their goals in his classes:
- Yes
- Appreciate the work Brian put into the class and teaching. Taking this class was one of the best things I have done recently!
- I really just wanted to learn the tenets of improv and see if it was something for me. I think I learned a lot of fundamentals which continually shaped my growth as an improviser and how I was approaching scenes. It was really useful for me to know the tenets, how to apply them and use them and that helped me hone them better. I also felt really comfortable during the showcase, so the class also made me more comfortable performing in front of others.
- I wanted to grow in my ability to be creative and to respond spontaneously. I also wanted to meet new people. I did all of those things!
