Indianapolis, IN: March 28, 2009 – Think you're funny? Want to get more comfortable with performing in front of large groups? Take a beginner, intermediate, or advanced improv workshop at ComedySportz Indianapolis, the city's only professional improvisational comedy theatre.

Level 1: Beginning Improv - will be offered on eight Mondays from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, starting March 30, 2009

IMPROV 101 - This workshop is for beginners with no practical experience in theatrical improvisation. This workshop will cover basics such as: overcoming inhibitions; listening; agreement; working as an ensemble; full use of your body; as well as starting to find characters.


Level 2: Intermediate Improv - running for eight Sundays from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm, starting March 29, 2009.

IMPROV 202 - This intermediate level workshop is designed for people who have completed Improv 101, or who have a limited amount of experience with improvisation. The focus of this workshop will be on creating and sustaining improvised scenes. It will also further explore improvising characters and environment, as well as introducing elements of rhyming and wordplay.

Level 3: Advanced Improv - running for eight Tuesdays from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, starting March 31, 2009.

IMPROV 303 - This is a performance-level workshop designed for people who have completed Improv 202 or who have at least some experience performing improvisation. In addition to introducing improvisation with music, this workshop will teach styles, games, and approaches to performing for a live audience. This workshop will culminate in a final performance to which the students may invite family and friends.

Introduction To Long Form Improvisation - held on eight Sundays from 3:00 pm to 5:00pm, starting March 29,2009

This course is designed for anyone interested in learning the craft of scene-based improvisation. By slowing down our work, we will focus acutely on the improv fundamentals of listening, agreement and patience. We will not look to inject our scenes with “funny” ideas but rather find the patterns and relationships that will build to a comedic crescendo. Students in the class will learn a number of Chicago-style improvisational forms as they learn to produce honest and realistic scenes from scratch.

All workshops are $195.00. If you are interested, please contact us before March 27, 2009. All workshops are eight weeks, each class is two hours.  Contact ComedySportz Indianapolis at 317-951-8499, or visit their web site, www.indycomedysportz.com, for more information.
