IMPROV 101: Introduction to Improvisation
This course is packed with goodies for new and experienced improvisers alike. No matter your level of experience, this is where you want to start your improv training at ITC.
You will be doing improv comedy scenes on Day One. It's natural. We do it all day, every day. There's nothing to be afraid of here. As the course builds, so will your comfort and confidence. You will be introduced to such amazing improv concepts as: "active listening," "creating characters," and "how to create and move imaginary objects through space." We know, right? Who wouldn't want to do this?
Instructor for This Class
Rob Chodos
Rob Chodos burst onto the national stage in 1988, when he won the plum role of "Alligator" in a commercial for Hershey's chocolate. A dormant period followed.
In 2007 he began working with the Impatient Theatre Co. Since then, he has become increasingly involved in the Toronto improv community, as a performer (After Shul Special, The Capitalists), director (Jailbait, Mac N' Cheese N' Fun), and teacher. Most recently, along with friend and life-coach Isaac Kessler, he coordinated a wildly successful weekend workshop series with Jet Evelyth of Chicago's iO Theater.
Rob spent the summer of 2009 in Chicago studying at the iO and has taken a number of workshops over the past two years, with such luminaries as Miles Stroth, TJ Jagodowski, Dave Pasquesi, Todd Stashwick.
Rob is also an elementary school teacher by day so... that explains the picture.
