This is our drop-in longform improv workshop. It is intended for those who already have a foundation in longform improv and are looking for an open workshop to continue developing your skills.
If you are interested, contact any of our instructors to apply for admission.
If you are new to longform improv, please check out our Foundations of Long Form Improv class (and yes, there’s a debate whether it should be one or two words!)
XProv is your chance to stretch your creative muscle. Have an improv game you’ve been wanting to try? A sketch you’ve written and want to see it read live? A new troupe that wants to perform in front of a test audience? A bit of clowning? Maybe some juggling?
XProv stands for Experimental Improv, and is a place to test out something we wouldn’t normally do in a class or a show. Any bit of performance art is a potential candidate.
You don’t have to bring something to perform. You can also show up if you just want to help out with someone else’s project or play in some new games. The only requirement is that you have attended one of our classes. It’s not open to the general public.
From 7 to 8 pm, we all gather, discuss what folks brought to perform, decide on who will be in what, and rehearse whatever needs to be (or can be) rehearsed. From 8 to 9 we perform our pieces for each other, and from 9 to 10 pm is feedback (for those that want it).

We are an open workshop where players of all abilities are invited to come and learn short form, comedy improv. We try to provide a fun and welcoming environment for beginners, as well as a place for more experienced players to practice their skills.
From 7:30 until 7:45 we do orientation for new players and then get started with warm-ups for everyone. If you are new to improv or to Santa Barbara Improv, try to show up at 7:30 so I can meet and talk with you about the class and your experience with improv or performing.
From 7:45 until 9:00 or so, we work on short-form improv games and exercises.
And depending on the class, from 9:00 until 10:00 we'll either continue working on short-form improv, or we'll work on long-form skills.

New monthly improv jam session (jam session = less formal than a standard class) will give those who have a solid foundation in the basics of improv a chance to try out challenging short form games and take a deep dive into how to most effectively play many of the old standbys!
Also, because this is a morning workshop and the facilitator and her life partner (who will also be guilted into attending) love coffee, coffee will be on hand. Possibly pastries.
Join us for our May improv show!
We’ll be joined by Carpinteria Improv for a Star Wars celebration.
Remember, May the Fourth Be With You!
