The Improv Collaborative is pleased to be Boulder’s longest lasting improv community.  If you're looking for an unintimidating way to get out of your comfort zone and into your playful self, if you’re looking for a deeper, freer way of relating to each other, check out our classes and team building workshops to find the one that's right for you.

The only one of its kind in Boulder, this class is a sampling of the two different forms of improv: short and long form. Short form is a game format where, within a structure, comedic antics ensue. The show Whose Line is it Anyway? is short form. Long form is scenic and narrative. It relates improv to the real world. In addition to exercises, games and two performances, the class leans toward developing camaraderie. When we trust and feel supported by our fellow players, we are more creative. It's an excellent way to have fun, make friends and explore the unknown. Comedy is a potential side effect, but not the goal. It happens organically!  The class span is 8 weeks.

Tuesdays, July 8 to August 26 |  7:15–9:15
Wednesdays, July 9 to August 27 |  7:15–9:15

Team Building - Collaboration, communication, creation and of course FUN (!) are the mainstays of an improv team building workshop. Put aside the emails, project plans and company meetings . Get down to what makes your employees relax and enjoy being together with an improv workshop. Be part of the list!

In this course, participants develop their acting skills and improve scene creation by practicing improvisation. They gain a heightened awareness of their surroundings, mastering stage presence and scene dynamics. Students learn to generate authentic reactions and interactions, fully embodying their characters with both physicality and emotional richness. By taking bold and instinctive choices, they propel scenes into engaging and surprising directions, enriching each moment with true emotional commitment. Students are the writers, set designers and actors. Comedy is not a goal, but rather a (potential) side effect of great scenes. The class span is ten weeks.

All levels are invited to attend this 6-week exploration into the world of short form games as seen in Whose Line is it Anyway? There is an abundance of games to learn! Like any hobby, short form gets better with practice and coaching. Here, you get both!
