Fundamentals of Improv, Long Form: Relationships — with Gretchen Grunzke

You’ve discovered how fun it can be to spot patterns and build energy through heightening—now take your scenes deeper by exploring the core of long-form improv: relationships. This class centers on creating grounded, dynamic connections between characters. You’ll practice listening with intent, making bold emotional choices, and uncovering the comedy that comes naturally when relationships feel specific and alive.

Through scene work, group exercises, and side coaching, you’ll learn how to sustain moments that are both playful and meaningful. Whether in a two-person scene or weaving connections across an ensemble piece, this class gives you tools to anchor the comedy in something real—so that patterns and heightening can shine even brighter.
