WELCOME TO

IMPROVOLUTION!

 

 

founded by GROUNDLING alumna Holly Mandel in 2001, IMPROVOLUTION! is an improv school, performing group and dare we say philosophy of how to live, create, and collaborate on and off stage...(yes, we dare!) 

what does improvisation and performance look like on the cutting-edge?


how can improv unleash a new level of creativity within individuals and between people where cooperation, support, positivity, and not-knowing are the foundation?

something that can inform who we are - individually and collectively - that can push us to grow, transform and expand what we are capable of?


and did we mention it's incredibly, undeniably-amazingly-almost-addictivly fun?!  well...it is.


come join us! you know you want to...c'mon, admit it. no, we all know you do...everyone's talking about how much you obsess about it...seriously...

IMPROVOLUTION.

THE EVOLUTION WILL BE IMPROVISED.

 

 


Hey, why is it called IMPROVOLUTION?

Well, it's basically IMPROV + EVOLUTION and REVOLUTION.

IMPROVOLUTION is much like a butterfly...metaphorically of course...because even though we have classes going full force, we are also going through a transformation of sorts - only to emerge as something new! More evolved! More interesting! What might improv look like in its next stage?
