About Improvolution

Improvolution is an improv school, a group of performers, and dare we say philosophy of how to live, create, and collaborate on and off stage…(why yes, we dare!) We stand firmly behind our motto that improv IS for everyone. If you want to learn it, we can teach you. It’s not about being funny or clever or aggressive, or needing to be a good actor or performer. It’s about investing in and getting behind the part of yourself that is fearless, creative, open, spontaneous, and likes the idea of creating with others. Improv has been and always will be a “team sport”.

Our name came from the idea that, well, improvisation as a form of comedy and entertainment is now more or less 50 years old. So we’re curious to find out what improv can evolve into. What more can it do, onstage and off? So that’s why we’re called IMPROVOLUTION. Improv + Evolution/Revolution. (Get it? Thanks, we know. We like it too!) And sure improv is a form of comedy…but what else can it be?

Basically improv is just kinda awesome. It helps people work together in amazing ways. It helps people think faster on their feet and trust their ideas. It helps people see that they don’t have to have everything figured out to participate fully, have fun, and create. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg…or ice cream sundae…whichever you prefer to visualize.

We are excited about having a community of people from all different backgrounds and disciplines come together and play. Improv has the unique power to catalyze and unleash a new level of creativity within individuals and between people where cooperation, support, positivity, and not-knowing are the foundation.

    I thought the class was great, it was fun we learned a lot of techniques.I do think it was a bit fast and a lot to perform in a short 2hr intro class. It can be a little overwhelming for new comers. But the instructor communicated clear and kept things upbeat and fun.

    Great foundational course in that it introduces the concept of improv: history and evolution of the practice and then propels you right into practice. The instructor was compassionate, inclusive and fun. She fostered a support amongst the group so we could relax and have fun. Definitely recommend!

    I really enjoyed the Intro to Improv class! I’d rate it a 5 out of 5. The instructor created a fun and supportive environment, making it easy to step out of my comfort zone and try new things. The exercises were engaging, and I appreciated how the class encouraged spontaneity and creativity. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely recommend it to others.

    Michael was incredible. If you’re unsure whether or not improv is for you - definitely take this class. It’s less daunting than you think in your head. Everyone else is just learning too and the structure of the class is really fun and engaging and puts you out of your comfort zone just the right amount! 100% get out of your head and take this class :)
