Improv Classes
Improv Your Life!
Learn the art of taking a suggestion and creating a moment on stage for an audience's entertainment. This unique 5 Level program starts with basic improvisation skills and character work, and then moves to more advanced improvisational play. Upper Levels (3 - 5) perform at the Improv Hootenanny. Students who complete all 5 Levels create and perform in their own graduation show for family, friends and the public.
- All students and experience levels start at Level 1
- Each Level is 8 weeks long consisting of 20 hours of instruction
- An open mind and a desire to learn is the only prerequisite
- Minimum age is 18
There's only one basic rule for this class - to have fun! Learn the basic rules of improvisation. Level 1 explores the art of listening, examines the simple complexity of communicating on stage, and practices giving and taking focus. In our improv classes you will also work closely with others to create and develop a realistic environment using imaginary objects.

Testimonials - What People Are 
Saying
"If you've been holding off, now is the time to JUMP! Studying (ok, playing!) at the Bovine Metropolis gave me self-confidence in all areas of my life, especially business. I wish I'd had access to these teachings when I was writing half-hour sitcoms in Hollywood; I would (have) experienced comfort, grace and ease in pitch meetings instead of panic and fear. Just say 'Yes, and...' watch your world transform." - former student
"The Bovine experience has freed me up as an actor, especially at auditions. I'm able to take more risks and have booked gigs because of that." - former student
"(I liked) the variety and depth of the excercises. By depth, I mean beginning players as well as more experienced players can both gain something from the exercises" - current student, when asked what they liked best about Level 1
