It is the only accredited improv and sketch comedy school in the United States.Focused on the idea of "The Game"—a given scene's central comedic idea—to create improvised scenes. Learned how to identify games within scenes, and how to use the concept of heightening to properly play out scenes. Heavy emphasis on using patterns to fill out comedic scenes based around one central game.Introduced to the idea of second beats (i.e., returning to scenes, characters, and concepts from earlier in an improvised piece).Took part in a long-form class performance, held at the UCB Theatre in New York City.

Learned the fundamentals of long-form comedic improvisation. Core concepts included using character agreement to make scenes succeed, developing character, character status, object and environment work, playing at the top of intelligence, and heightening (finding ways to make scenes get funnier from start to finish).Took part in a long-form class performance, held at the UCB Theatre in New York City.
