The Improv Diagnostics Workshop is a drop-in class that allows all level of player to participate, from the veteran improviser to those improvising for the very first time. That is because there are no lesson plans.

Instead, the class is structured to pinpoint your individual students’ tendencies. Find out what your strengths are and where you could explore further and learn personalized challenges that will help you break your boundaries.

And working in a non-stop series of short, quick scenes, maximized stage time guaranteed! It's great for beginners who want to develop new skills and for professionals who want to keep fresh.

I'm in a troupe with Asaf, and I still can't get enough of his coaching. The guy is a phenomenon. I'm going to try to attend this diagnostics, as well as his 8 week Master Class, starting in mid-October.

Recommended even higher than I got on weed last night! And that was damn high!
