BATS Studio Classes

Questions? Contact us at (415) 474-6776 or registrar@improv.org

For students wishing to continue on a "performance" track at BATS, we offer our Studio Level classes, in which we teach stagecraft, scene building and delve further into specific improv skills.

We offer wait lists for sold out classes in the event of a student cancellation, so email us to be added (please include your contact information and the name/course # of your preferred class.)

Studio Scenework Classes

Classes are offered once per week for 4 weeks. This workshop is where the student hones his/her performance skills. Students graduate from Studio Scenework when they can successfully negotiate scenes demonstrating these skills on a consistent basis: being seen and heard, listening, ensemble, character, acting, and being fun to play with. The student moves out of Studio Scenework when the coach, Associate Dean and Dean deem the student ready to advance into the Graduate program.

Prerequisite: Foundations 1 and 2 plus Dean approval
Four-week series / 10 student maximum / Tuition: $180
