Class Overview

IFAX 1 – Improv Basics

A 7-week introduction to the art of improvisation and the tools it offers to help us deal with social anxiety.

This innovative class uses ensemble-based improv to help people manage feelings of stress and anxiety.

About The Second City’s Improv for Anxiety Program

The Improv for Anxiety Program aims to build a nurturing space and student community where students can slowly explore the tenets of improvisation while receiving accommodations due to feelings of fear or anxiety.

The Improv for Anxiety Program is not a substitute for therapy. Instructors focus on teaching improvisational skills such as listening, being others focused, taking risks, and working from a “Yes, And…” mindset.
