This class presents models for creating original monologues from life experience and imagination.
Our format combines Improv, writing, and physical movement for a full spectrum of expressive creativity. We take you through solo formats, idea-generating exercises, rehearsal, honing, and an informal performance on stage with a live audience at Broadway Playhouse.

What our SpotLife students are saying:

“…This experience was more than I had anticipated. To have such freedom to shine in whatever way we chose, knowing a safety net of supportive people were there to back us up was amazing. No judgement, no critics and no competition makes this class more of a creative gift!…”

“…Thanks for all you do, you two. Wow— I saw your smiles on a poster in the hall at the theater last night and I got it: you love this stuff and you love each other. It rubbed off on me. Thanks for that, too. I love ya'…”

“…your encouragement and support allowed me to go beyond my fear and express the artist within me...”

“…you have given me an open field where I once had a tiny plot…”

Expand your Improv-ability! This 6-week class is designed for people with experience and those wanting to test the Improv waters.

Get in the Game and sign up for our 2008 Capitola classes.

We focus on applying effective scene-building tools to the games. (Tilts, heightening, building suspense, use of space objects, and character work.) In other words, "Fun!"

Isn't it time you took your imagination out for an adventure? This is a gift for your Sense of Humor. Lighten up your week with laughter as you study with the founders of the Fun Institute and become a part the Improv craze.
