  • I want to like it but

    I don’t. Instead of clearly covering the fundamentals they poorly explain random esoteric minutia. I feel like this a disease infecting most of improv education. I’m not sure if this disease evolved to extract money out of students or if it is a sign that teachers just really don’t understand the heart of improv well enough to explain it.
