UCB NY Training Center has added optional weekend practice sessions for Improv 101 students to strengthen the lessons they get in classes. It’s great to see UCB adapting it’s teaching to better ingrain the basics. Although I loved my 101 training at UCB, I thought essentials (environment, object work, etc.) were taught very quickly and I would have loved the chance to more time on specific subjects.

I think this also underlines the fact starting improv students really don’t form practice groups for themselves until 201. This is a real shame as practice can be a great place to work out those mistakes that are so recurrent in 101. This Practice session may also encourage starting improvisers to form independant practice groups a little faster than they would if unguided.

Update Feb 18 - UCB has added practice sessions for their 201 classes as well.
