202: Understanding Storytelling
Intro to Long-Form Narrative
 ​

Dive headfirst into learning how Jet City Improv creates its signature improvised plays in this Intro to Long-Form Narrative Class! This class will ease you into the world of telling an interesting and creative story, made up by the perfromers!

​
Classes Start the Week of May 18

Explore how to turn improvised scenes into compelling stories. This class introduces you to long-form narrative improv, the foundation of Jet City Improv’s signature style of fully improvised plays.

You’ll learn how to build and sustain characters, develop story arcs across multiple scenes, and use classic storytelling frameworks to create strong narrative structure. Whether your goal is to perform long-form shows or simply sharpen your storytelling skills, this class will give you the tools and confidence to bring your ideas to life onstage.

In this class, you will:
  • Build and sustain character and story across multiple scenes
  • Explore long-form formats with a focus on narrative clarity
  • Use tools like the Hero’s Journey and three-act structure to guide your scenes
  • Practice weaving a well-constructed ensemble story
  • Identify themes, stakes, and emotional threads
  • Strengthen group support in long-form performance
  • Take part in a final student showcase
  • Receive free admission to most Jet City Improv shows during your class session, subject to availability

Who: Adults 18 and older
​
Prerequisite: Completion of Improv 103 at Jet City Improv, or equivalent improv experience elsewhere

Course order: 200-level classes may be taken in any order.

Price: $385 for 8 weeks
We want classes to be accessible. If cost is a barrier, please reach out to [email protected] to ask about scholarship options or volunteer opportunities.

​
Note: This class has eight class sessions instead of the normal seven. The showcase takes place before the final class, so the last session can be used for reflection, feedback, and next steps.​
