TEEN IMPROV 13-17
Make something no one has seen before.
Create characters, scenes, and a complete improvised show. No scripts.
Blurt’s teen programs combine real improv training with a supportive ensemble where you can take risks, meet people, and make something genuinely funny together.
HOW IT WORKS
How a session works
Here's the shape of a Blurt session, start to finish
6-week-session
One class each week gives the group time to get comfortable, connect, and build something together.
A typical class
We warm up, play fast-moving games, and put those skills to work in scenes.
Builds each week
Each class introduces something new and brings back favorites, so skills and confidence grow naturally.
Ends with a show
Parents and caregivers join the final class for favorite games and scenes. It’s a celebration, not a high-pressure recital.
Find people willing to make it up with you.
No scripts. No prepared jokes. No need to arrive as “the funny one.”
A TRAINING GROUND FOR COMEDY
Have an idea. See how far it can go.
Long-form improv has helped train generations of performers and writers working in sketch comedy, television, and film. It teaches you how to recognize an interesting idea, develop it beyond the obvious, and make it better by putting it in other people’s hands.
01
Generate Ideas
Turn one suggestion into multiple characters, relationships, premises, and possible directions.
02
Develop the pattern
Recognize what makes an idea funny, explore new versions of it, and heighten it without losing what made it work.
03
Build together
Listen closely, contribute boldly, and make other people’s ideas stronger. It's the same kind of collaboration required onstage and in a writers’ room.
