Advanced Improv Training

Beyond its daily free classes, RA is proud to offer a core curriculum of multi-session courses and associated electives that provide a full improv education for the more serious improv student.  

Core Curriculum

Students completing RA's 4 class core curriculum will be left with a working knowledge of long form improv comedy skills, structures and history at a comparable level to the graduates of any major improv comedy theater.  The four courses making up this curriculum are:

     IMPROV 1 - Intro To Improv

     IMPROV 2 - The Game Of The Scene

     IMPROV 3 - Openings & Structures 

     IMPROV 4 - Performance Study 

Each class level is associated with a checklist of improv skills and concepts.  Students work with their instructor to make certain all associated items are covered in their class.  Often Improv 2 and above classes require more than one six week session for all learning goals to be thoroughly reviewed.

Electives

From time to time, classes in specific structures, approaches and skillsets will be offered as electives.

Having taken improv classes with Terry for many months now, I am continually impressed by his ability to work with people at whatever skill level they have. His gentle, always-constructive feedback makes them feel accepted and helps them move forward from there. Which means that almost anyone can take his courses and feel confident that they will laugh while learning new skills.

"Terry is a great educator and improvisor, so learning from him is truly a treat! Terry has helped me grow as an improvisor, built my confidence as a performer. Highly reccomend his classes!"

Oregon Johnson

"I've taken two classes and certainly feel I've grown as an improviser and performer as a result! I appreciate how accessible the courses are and how welcoming of an environment Terry creates in them. Highly recommended for beginners or longtime improvisers alike."

"I've been an avid attendee of the Radical Agreement classes for some time now. And I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I through enjoy it. A truly hands-on learning experience while still having loads of fun!"
