Improv Resource Center - Forums
I am interested in taking classes at one of Los Angeles's improv schools, but am not sure how to decide which one.
I have over 5 years of experience in improvisation (mostly long form) and have performed in many of the long form improv festivals around the country. I have also taught improv and have extensive experience performing many forms of long form (Harold, Armando, La Ronde, Merlin, Lotus, Deconstruction, Impressionistic Horror, and more). I have done some sketch as well.
So what I am wondering is not so much what each center teaches (I see that on their curriculum breakdowns), but I am wondering HOW they teach, what the overall experience is like, what kind of lasting relationships are created with the fellow students and teachers...basically a summary of what it is like taking classes there.
I am wondering about iO West, UCBT, Second City, and Groundlings.
Thank you to anyone who can help me!
