Improvisation has a long history in the arts, including acting and music, but has most recently been celebrated in many forms of comedy performance. Some of our finest comedic actors have hailed from groups like Second City and The Groundlings, where they learned the art of improvisation as well as sketch comedy. Whose Line Is It Anyway was a wildly popular TV show in both Britain and the United States, featuring talented improvisers playing a wide range of games specially designed for improvisational techniques.
The skill of thinking on one's feet has applications far beyond entertaining on the stage. In business, the ability to address a boardroom or a trade show is invaluable, and improv can make sure you succeed far beyond where your prepared notes can take you. Likewise, in school, being able to stand up in class to make a presentation can make the difference between pass or fail. Even in social situations, having improv skills can easily increase your confidence level while, at the same time, make you comfortable talking with others whether one on one or in a large group.
The improvisation techniques taught at the San Francisco Comedy College's FRISCO training program are taught in three Levels of Instruction – Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced — and can be applied in many different ways. Helpful for those looking to get on stage, the improv elements we teach can be useful to standup comedians looking to feel more comfortable dealing with audiences. But they serve equally for the project manager having to put on a client presentation. And for those looking to truly immerse themselves in the improv experience, Frisco is also our performance group, entertaining in clubs, theaters, schools and corporate shows. To showcase the skills learned, each level builds to a performance which is held as the final class.
