The Coincidence Improv Academy will be offering a 7-week “Fundamentals of Improv” class next week. This is the first of four progressive levels of classes, from beginner to advanced. Our goal is to give students the skills and the opportunity to perform improvised theatre for an audience.

How is this different than other improv classes? The CIA focuses on a style of theatrical improv called “long form”: grounded in truthful scenework, complex and challenging like jazz, but ultimately very rewarding for the actor and captivating for an audience.
