Improvisation has been made popular by television shows such as Thank God You’re Here, Middleditch & Schwartz and Whose Line is it Anyway?, and now you can join On the Fly’s experienced faculty to explore its core concepts over seven weeks, in a supportive and collaborative environment.

​We've learned to embrace happy failure and be spontaneous, and now we want to tell stories. 

What makes a scene compelling? How can we be attentive and inspiring scene partners with whom people love to play? 

This brand new course will extend the ideas you learned in Intro to Impro and teach you the core elements that go into compelling scenes such as platform, character, and reincorporation. It will provide opportunity to practice performing and watching scenes with direction and feedback, so you can build your "scene sense" and improvise with confidence!

This is a core foundational course, and is intended to be taken directly after completion of Intro to Impro. This course draws heavily on the concepts and nomenclature used in Intro to Impro, so please get in touch if you have not completed that course recently and would like to enrol in this.

​

Most of what’s communicated in life is non-verbal - and the same is true in impro.
Improvisers can make objects, convey characters’ emotions and build whole worlds using just their physicality.

This course explores the non-verbal elements of impro: from scene painting and object work to techniques that can be used to communicate whole stories without words. It also explores the core skill of how best to use the stage when telling a story.

Intended for improvisers in their first year with On the Fly, this is one of our core courses designed to give students a strong foundation in impro.

​Is life a game? Some say that we are all but pieces on a board, at the whim of great forces beyond our control.

This course is not about that. It's about using games to understand, heighten and turbocharge your impro! Through the practice of short-form impro games, you will learn what these games are trying to teach us and how to play the game well. As the course continues you will apply these same lessons in your own open impro, learning to follow the fun and heighten your choices to create satisfying and hilarious scenework. In this game, we are all winners!
