Improv.To grew from a shared love of spontaneous storytelling and community. After completing training with The Second City and Bad Dog Theatre, our founders wanted to bring professional-quality improv instruction to the GTA — so you don’t have to commute downtown to play, learn, and laugh.
Our classes combine the structure and performance focus of Toronto’s top improv programs with a warm, local community atmosphere.
David has taught improv in Markham for over eight years and brings more than 30 years of drama experience to the classroom. His focus is on confidence, listening, and collaboration — the foundation of great improv.
Improvisational theatre, or improv, is one of the world’s oldest art forms—older than novels, older than paintings even. We can be reasonably certain it began back in Cro-Magnon times when the first people stood up to act out the story that had happened to them earlier that day.
It’s an art form I fell in love with. I love how one never masters it—and even the masters become rusty quickly when they stop playing.
Improv is collaborative storytelling, and I believe anyone can do it.
The thing is, doing improv is good for you. It’s good for your mental and physical health. I’ve seen confidence increase dramatically in people in mere weeks. I’ve seen social anxiety lessen and communication barriers disappear.
