Improv
Elective

calendar NEXT WORKSHOP: Sunday, September 21–October 26

Class Description
In this high-energy masterclass, participants will unlock the secret to transforming fast-paced shortform improv games into rich, story-driven experiences. Perfect for improvisers looking to elevate their scenes beyond punchlines, this session dives deep into the art of spontaneous storytelling — even within the tight time limits of shortform formats.

Through targeted exercises, side coaching, and dynamic scene work, you’ll learn how to:

  • Identify and build story arcs in under five minutes
  • Create characters with depth on the fly
  • Establish stakes and emotional grounding in fast-paced formats
  • Use narrative tools like callbacks, patterns, and transformation to heighten comedic and dramatic beats
  • Seamlessly blend structure and spontaneity to serve both game and story

Whether you’re a performer, coach, or director, this class will give you the tools to turn quick games into unforgettable moments with heart, clarity, and impact — all while keeping the audience laughing.

Meet you Instructor
Tanya Wagner has been performing, mc’ing and teaching improv at Whole World Theatre for over a decade.  Her favorite type of improv is what she terms “believable improv” where no matter what your suggestion may be you transport your audience there totally immersing them in your new “reality.”

  • When: Sundays, 2–4 PM
  • Tuition: $175
  • Perks: Enrolled students receive complimentary show tickets!
