BROOKLYN IMPROV TRAINING
We teach Ensemble Improv: the skills of spontaneously creating, as a group, a single piece of work.
Drawing from the wisdoms of Viola Spolin, Keith Johnstone, Del Close, and also from 15 years of improv teaching experience in NYC and beyond, LOM’s approach is experiential, on your feet, and full of joy. We will teach you how to let go of judgment, how to stay present, and many other practical strategies to create hilarious and delightful scene work with an ensemble of players.
Our goal is not to teach you how to be the funniest person in the room, it’s to make the whole room funnier.
All classes are 18 and up.
