Want to study long form improv, but don't live near a UCB Training Center? Let's make some local connections! This is for all the humans that love long form improvisation and have always wanted to try it, but don't live near a UCB/cannot afford the classes. The goal of this post and the subreddit is to unite long form improvisation fans on a local level to practice scene work and study the art form. All experience levels are welcome!
How the hell does this work, you ask?!
Step 1:
Join the WeImprov subreddit!
Step 2:
Post your GENERAL location within a title reading "Seeking Fellow Improvisers Near [location here]". Then fellow humans like yourself in your vicinity can comment on that post and connect with you and everyone else within it! I've posted my own request as an example. The forum may also be used as a place for the community to discuss trends/observations about improv they find important/interesting. (Please look for your location within the subreddit before posting)
Step 3: (Partially Optional)
I also very strongly urge you to purchase The Upright Citizens Brigade Comedy Improvisation Manual. This is a fantastic must-have guide to long form improvisation vouched for by many people much more knowledgeable than myself. I have read of many groups that have used this book as their soul resource, who have went from naive to kick-ass all by their lonesome.
Look forward to seeing some of you. Keep being human.
