BEGINNER CLASSES

New to Improv? Try these intro level workshops and courses.

We believe learning Improvisation is a forest to explore rather than a ladder to climb.

We are dedicated to ongoing learning, performer training, and meaningful community engagement. We embrace the idea that true knowledge begins with inquiry, from your personal history and interests, and that it is to be supported by teachers and artists who care about your growth, your enjoyment, your well-being.

Improvisation training is a practise that can enhance your performance or creative endeavours, and your life in unexpected ways. We provide a brave space where you can learn to inspire your scene partner, your community and your world.

"This class is my first step into improv in many years and I couldn’t have chosen a better place to start. Once I made the big leap, I was thrilled to discover how the class worked, like climbing a set of stairs, each exercise builds to the next. ... I came here to have fun, expand my creative skills and I’m getting that plus learning more about the human experience. I highly recommend Tightrope Theatre" - Laura Burns
