    Fundamentals of Improv: Pattern & Heightening

    Every big laugh in long-form improv starts with the smallest spark. In this intro course, you’ll learn how to spot those sparks—tiny patterns in dialogue, behavior, or ideas—and then fan them into roaring flames of comedy. Together, we’ll explore how repetition builds rhythm, how heightening raises the stakes, and how teams create memorable scenes by following the funny.

    This isn’t about being the loudest person on stage—it’s about listening, supporting, and building a world brick by brick (or, more often, joke by joke). By the end, you’ll be primed to recognize opportunities, lean into patterns, and chase ideas all the way to the wildest payoff.

    Whether you’re brand new to improv or just curious about what happens when play meets precision, this is where your long-form journey begins. Come ready to mess up loudly, laugh at yourself, and (accidentally) stumble into some of the best scenes you’ve ever done.
