Improv 302: Story

Telling effective and entertaining stories is what improvisers strive to do! A strong beginning, surprising middle, and satisfying ending are the equation for a great improvised story. Put your skills to work creating scenes your audience will love in this intermediate workshop.

Note: If 13 or more registrations occur, this class will be split into two separate classes running simultaneously in different rooms with different instructors. Students who register will be notified if this split occurs, and will be given the option to indicate instructor and classmate preferences.

Please register with your preferred name so we know who will be in the class and what to call you!

Prerequisites: Improv 101 & 201, or 30 hours of improv experience, or equivalent. Email Jordan if you have questions about your level of improv.

Instructor (Class 1): Mark Laws
A teacher by day, performer by night: Mark (he/him) is excited to be your instructor! He started taking classes with The Kinkonauts in 2022 before being accepted into their Conservatory Programme that same year. He discovered that improv is a great way to build confidence, find self-expression and create new neural pathways! Also that he likes to play pirates- that kook! You may have seen him in Fringe Fest 2024’s Surprised by Love, improvised film noir Secrets and Shadows, Cage Match 2025-winning BassN’H, and more! Known for his inclusivity, self-deprecating wit, and passion for the craft, Mark hopes to create a safe space for his students to play games, learn new skills, and (most importantly) have fun!
