Improv Classes -- Beginner and Experienced
| Class |
Description |
| Foundations of
Improv |
Foundations of Improv is a great workshop for someone who
has never taken improv, as well as someone who is looking to
learn a new improv style. This class focuses on the basics
of improv, how to give simple, clear information to get a
scene started, how to be changed by information given to
you, and mostly to get out of your head, leave your inner
critic at the door, and have fun on stage.
prerequisite: none
By the end of a 6 week session a student will know:
- Relaxation: Through warm-up (vocal & physical) they are given tools to relax
under pressure and be "present".
- Having fun while frying. Letting go of the "getting it right"
syndrome.
- Embracing Failure, Mistakes are truly Gifts.
- Basic Stage Presence: the student can be seen and heard, is not
constantly upstaging or turning back on audience.
- Learn to build a scene by learning how to CROW (establish Character,
Relationship and the Objective and Where of the scene) through a series of
exercises where they learn CROW through their bodies and not just
intellectually. They will be able to execute CROW or at least know when it isn't
there. They will have an understanding of Building Characters, Emotions,
Relationships, Objectives, Where's, Endowments, & Narrative.
- Saying Yes – able to move action and not block. Playing first offer
out all the way until it organically flips into something else. Getting in tune
with their own impulses and starting from that clear space – then learning to
accept others impulses.
- Ensemble/making your partner look good, sharing control. Clicking into
the Group Mind and getting out of your own way, serving your partner, making
your partner look good,
- Letting go of Control: not planning ahead.

Featuring
The Tranz4merZ
One game. Thirty minutes. A buncha guys.
With only one beginning action, the TranzmerZ spin a
stream of consciousness world from gym cops to
patrons of a sperm bar using the simple
improvisational game of transformations. It's fast,
intense, and funny as hell as they feed off one
another and break all the rules.The Trans4merZ began
performing in the fall of 1991 in Santa Monica,
California The idea was to create a new form of
improvisation that didn't rely upon standard game
formats, or long form structures that had recently
become popular. Many different formats were
suggested before the idea of doing transformations
as a non-stop, half-hour performance structure was
finally settled upon. This has been the form for The
Trans4merZ show ever since. Along the way, notable
personalities such as Cynthia Stevenson
("Happiness," "Oh, Baby,") and Lisa Kudrow
("Friends," "The Opposite of Sex,") were regular
performers with the group. Guest performers have
included Jon Lovitz and Conan O' Brian.
Please go to
www.Trans4merZ.com for more info and videos of
recent performances.

insulation in a popular commercial, propelling him
overnight into receptionist work. His television
appearances include "The Tonight Show", "According
to Jim" and he recently played the role of
Neanderthal Chieftan "Clive" in the low budget film
"The Hunters." He now writes for "The Troop" on

featured in the films "Project X", "Fright Night"

rather early on, that making a living from improv
was impossible, to support his family he turned to
the world of television writing. He has worked on
such series as "Cheers", "Bob", "The Nanny" and
"Ellen", for which he won an Emmy award for his work
on the coming out episode and co-created ABC's
long-running comedy "According to Jim". He has
written a movie about women pirates and one about
aliens and is now penning one about a monster under
the bed. As you can plainly see, Jonathan is all
over the map.

Louisville Improvisors have always been committed to exploring and expanding
the art form of improvisation by creating original concept and long form shows
like, "Heaven or Hell", "Behind the Improv", and "Burnin' Love". And that's why
they wanted to create a show based on the rich history and tradition of Irish
Hill.
"We just thought it was about time Irish Hill got the love and attention it
deserves," Alec Volz of the Louisville Improvisors said. "If Butchertown can be
hip, why can't Irish Hill," said Chris Anger, (also of the Louisville
Improvisors) "Irish Hill, it's not hip – it's real," added Louisville legend and
LI member Todd Hildreth.
Also on the bill is Nashville Improv,
Music City's first and only improv and sketch Comedy Theater. Just named "Best

now boasts the area's best improvisers performing and sharing what they have
been doing for years. Their cast members have performed in hundreds of shows in
troupes all over the country, and they take a mature approach to improvisation,
focusing more on character and story than gags or gimmicks.

THE IRISH HILL IMPROV FESTIVAL
INAUGURAL BALL
Louisville, KY - At the Fox's Den in City Block, the LOUISVILLE
IMPROVISORS, Louisville's premiere improv troupe and BACKSEAT
SANDBAR (www.backseatsandbar.com),
Louisville's premiere music blog, will host the IRISH HILL IMPROV
FESTIVAL INAUGURAL BALL featuring Louisville's ownTHE INSTRUCTION
and the legendary BODECO. The Irish Hill Improv Festival Inaugural
Ball celebrates the return of Los Angeles-based comedic institution
THE GROUNDLINGS to Louisville. Though it's not held in Irish Hill,
the event will feature the best of Irish Hill Culture. There will be
door prizes, a costume contest, where you can dress as your favorite
historical Irish Hill figure (past or present), and a dance contest
where you can show off your Billy Goat Strut, Nannie Goat Strut, or
Irish Hill Crawl, which was developed during the flood of 1937 (it's
like the Charleston, but underwater). Put your money where your
strut is!
The Instruction formed in 2005 and has been playing shows around
town performing with the likes of Your Black Star, as well as
national acts MC Chris and Thao Nguyen with the Get Down Stay Down.
Currently, the band's songs have been featured on WFPK and they are
in the process of completing their debut Failure By Design.
Louisville stalwarts Bodeco rose to prominence in the burgeoning
1990s independent music in scene in Louisville. Bodeco has earned
legendary status with their mix of rockabilly, hardcore, and
concrete blues. Though they only released two albums, Bodeco broke
into WFPK's top 100 albums of all time with Callin' All Dogs, which
was better than fugue in F sharp by Mozart. But, Bodeco's power has
always been in live performance. Behind the guttural yawlp of Ricky
Feather, Bodeco has earned praise from critics and audience's alike.
Trouser Press called them "[o]ne of the most underappreciated combos
in the early-to-mid-'90s indie roots-rock movement". The New York
Times raves: "[t]here's nothing quaint, cute or five-and-dime about
Bodeco's brand of rockabilly. Greasy as a truck-stop burger and
bumpier than a high-speed ride in the back of a pickup, this band of
Louisville wild men eschews retro contrivances in favor of gristle,
marrow and the occasional backwoods yowl."

10 THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT THE IRISH HILL
IMPROV FESTIVAL:
- It's the first one!
- There actually aren't enough improvisers in Irish Hill to make a
"festival" so we had to bring some in from "Los Angeles."
- It's annual?
- It takes place in Irish Hill. That's in Louisville, Kentucky. That's in
the United States. Which is a country on planet Earth. The Earth is in the
solar system. Well, the ball won't happen in Irish Hill, but the rest apply.
- When the wind blows right, you can smell Butchertown.
- The Irish Hill Neighborhood Association won a prolonged bidding war
against Deer Park to host the festival. The Upper Highlands dropped out
early.
- Improv is an artform. Invented by the original inhabitants of Irish
Hill: the Swedes.
- The Groundlings also performed at the First Annual Toluca Lake Improv
Festival.
- Andy Dick WILL NOT be attending.
- Irish Hill was once known as Billy Goat Hill. The name was changed after
a copyright infringement suit was filed by Billy Goat Strut alley downtown.
Billy Goat Hill henceforth became known as "Irish Hill"
