YAP Group, short for the improvisation principle Yes And Practice, is Boston’s premier improv workshop open to all improv players from novice to intermediate. Considered part of Improv Boston’s training ground, YAP Group allows players to develop their skills under the tutelage of a variety of well-known visiting directors from Boston’s improv scene. During our practice sessions we explore elements of improvisational comedy such as character work, short form genres and group interaction just to name a few. Please join us to play, network, and learn. Come once, come often, just don’t come late.
PARTICIPANTS: Players with a basic understanding of improv and/or acting experience.
TIME & PLACE:
Sunday from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM., ImprovBoston, 40 Prospect St., Cambridge, MA
PURPOSE: To get some extra practice time for sharpening improv skills.
DIRECTOR:
Every few sessions, a different member of the Boston improv scene provides their unique guidance, allowing the group to experience a variety of perspecitives.
FORMAT: We concentrate primarily on scenework. We do some side coaching and direction, but we want to focus on this just being practice with the overall purpose of improving scenework. If participants want to work on specific elements of improv, e.g., character work, object work, short form games, etc., we can explore those things in more depth, depending on what the needs/wants of the group are. Our goal is to help improvisers get to a point where they feel they are performance-ready.
