Workshops, Jams, & Shows

WHAT WE OFFER

Improv Workshops

(For improvisers of all skill levels)


We teach monthly improv workshops that dive deep into improvisation culture, techniques, and forms.


Our workshops will help you hone your craft, boldly claim space onstage (and off), plus connect with others (and yourself) in new, fun, and transformative ways.

Free Community Jams

(For improvisers of all skill levels)


We host monthly improv jams in Asheville that encourage play and creativity through guided group warm-ups and longform sets.


Once or twice a year, we also host free Bring-Your-Own-Troupe jams where local improv teams can sign up to perform in a simulated show environment with an engaged audience. It's the perfect environment to launch a new troupe or record a set for festival submissions.

Improv Coaching

(For teams and individuals—starting at $75)


We offer coaching for improvisers looking to uplevel their choices and stage presence.


Shortform, longform, musical improv, narrative improv/unscripted theater, gameshow, or competition-style improv, auditions, on-camera improv, and more

We operate on a sliding scale and offer a limited number of free workshop seats for low-income, BIPOC, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ community members

Testimonials

What our students (AKA Joyriders) are saying about our workshops

Stevie created a safe, professional, and friendly space in which to learn what's been (for me) a very intimidating art form. Their knowledge and experience of the craft are amazing, and their teaching skills are second to none. I can't wait for the next one!

Improv for Connection Workshop

I came in as a total beginner and felt that I was given the tools needed and the support to approach improv in a fun and creative way.

Joyride Student

Show Tools Workshop

This workshop was awesome. We worked on the fundamentals and sharpened our tools. Stevie created a safe space to play and fail, and they gave gentle side coaching that enhanced our scenes.

Joyride Student

Show Tools Workshop

Stevie does a great job with the workshop. Time flies by. The topics and objectives are clear. Everything is easy to digest and understand. What I appreciate the most is the real-time coaching and notes Stevie gives during and right after scenes. The class size is appropriate, with enough support while also allowing ample time for everyone to perform and ask questions. Would definitely take another workshop with them again!

Joyride Student

Show Tools Workshop

It's great to have the option of a low-stakes (only 3 week course) to enhance my improv skills. Stevie did a great job of digesting many aspects into a 3-week course.

Joyride Student

Improv for Connection Workshop

I'm SOOOO happy to learn your next workshop is "in the works"! I missed out on other improv classes by waiting too long to enroll, and now they're full. Meanwhile, I've become somewhat of an improv groupie, going to as many shows as I can to learn and observe while being entertained. You are an AMAZING teacher and seem wise way beyond your years (whatever they are)! Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
