Who is Theatre Momentum? Hailed as "a worthy alternative to what you'll find at improv mainstays such as i.O. or Annoyance," Theatre Momentum strives for work that is theatre that happens to be improvised. For a little about our history, click the About TM tab. Welcome! |

Improv Fundamentals
Improv Fundamentals will introduce you to the Theatre Momentum style of improv theatre. The Improv Fundamentals class series is intended for the beginning improvisor. If you already have some experience (6 months or more, or have completed a course of study at another theatre), then you should take Improv as Theatre.
|
Improv as Theatre will introduce the more experienced improvisor to the art of improvisation, treated as theatre.
Improv is theatre. The best compliment an improvisor can receive is to be told a performance was clearly not improvised. This class series will teach you the skills to create performances that are believable, seamless, smart, and treat improv as a powerful tool to create instant theatre.
