Service Description
[Virtual] Yes, And: The Art of Improv in Everyday Life by Kimber Hageman on Tuesday evenings, 6:00-8:00 pm CST from 3/30/27- 5/4/27 online using Zoom Welcome to Yes, And: The Art of Improv in Everyday Life, an engaging exploration into the fast-paced, unscripted world of improvisational comedy. In this course, we will trace the origins and history of improv, dive into various styles and popular performance games, and discover how famous comedy institutions like The Second City and Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) laid the foundation for iconic live shows ranging from Whose Line Is It Anyway? to Saturday Night Live. Beyond the stage, you will learn how core improv principles—such as active listening, adaptability, and leaning into the foundational rule of "Yes, And"—can sharpen your real-world communication skills. Through hands-on activities, interactive games, and insightful discussions, you’ll build confidence, embrace spontaneity, and learn to navigate everyday social interactions with ease and humor. Whether you are an aspiring performer or simply looking to enhance your everyday social dynamics, this course offers practical skills to help you think on your feet.
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
