Improv Academy - Foundation 1. in English

If you wish for a well structured training course - in English language

If you don't just want to browse the training range, but also want stable foundations, continuous development and a supportive community, we have created this opportunity for you.

The Itt és Most Improv Academy provides stage improvisation training in English language for adults, i.e. those over the age of 18, whose primary goal is to develop the participants' self-awareness, communication, performance and improvisation skills.

What the trainings give you

Stable frameworks and flexibility

The Academy's curriculum was developed by the specialists of Itt és Most Társulat in such a way that the knowledge of the participants is gradually expanded and deepened, with trainings that build on each other.

We help your personal development

Thanks to the fixed group, the trainers constantly monitor the participants' progress, and you can reliably count on your peers in addition to the group leader's feedback.

You become part of our community

As a member of the Itt és Most Improv Academy, you will be in contact with our other students in addition to your group mates. You will be the first to hear about camps, one-day courses, and lectures, and spontaneous gatherings also occur.

Improvisation skills

In addition to learning how to be present HERE AND NOW, we will show you what you can do in the great freedom given by impro. Your fear of the unknown will disappear, you will learn the basics and tools that will come in handy in your civilian life as well.

Personal gain

Changing your point of view, breaking your routine, and letting go of your habits are integrated into your everyday life. Improvising makes you more curious and flexible, which can even help you deal with difficult situations. You connect with others more easily, and you constantly train your social and communication skills.

Relaxed atmosphere

Improvisation develops many skill areas, but let's face it, the reason it works so well is because improvising is exciting and enjoyable. Every training session has exercises and games that make you laugh.

Build your improv skills with us!

We don't call our foundation course a beginner's course on purpose, because we believe that foundation is worth it even if you already have improv experience, but you don't see your acquired experience in a system. We are also waiting for you if you are simply curious and would like to get to know another way of looking at things. Of course, even as a newcomer, it is a great decision to think in a system, since stable frameworks give a sense of security. What do you get with us?

How are the trainings structured?

The Academy's two-year undergraduate program consists of 6 courses. The courses include 8 training sessions of 3 hours each. 7 of the 8 times are for learning new knowledge or deepening existing knowledge, and the last time is always a closed or public stage play (performance).

What happens if I can't commit for that long?

Our training is modular, the modules build on each other. If, for example, you start the Foundation Year with us, but after two courses you are forced to drop out for some reason, you do not need to start over, but - if our cross-semester training starts, in a cross-semester or - a year later, you can rejoin the 3rd course.

How to continue after the first two years?

After the first two years of basic training in improvisation, those who are interested in experimenting with improvisational theater forms and playing in front of an audience have the opportunity to continue their weekly knowledge deepening in the invitation-based Production Workshops.

Customer reviews

They said about us

"Being in the moment, forgetting the outside world. That's what morning fun means to me. Thanks to the games, I somehow turn off my constantly nagging brain, my compulsion to conform, and turn on my carefree, playful part and forget the outside world, my problems and things to do for three hours. I don't need any preparation, somehow the games bring out thoughts and ideas from me that I don't expect. A cool and accepting atmosphere develops, where there really is no wrong decision or bad sign, and it is not a tragedy if I feel that something did not go so well. I learn a lot about myself and about playing together with a partner, about paying attention to each other, which then seeps into my everyday life. And I'm also learning a lot about impro, which is a wonderfully cool technique for increasing courage. 🙂"

Morning Game For Fun

"The impro gave me a new social experience, friends, and a new opportunity to relax. It helped me to be more relaxed even on weekdays, not to overthink so much. I got interesting experiences about myself, how I react in unexpected situations. There are no right or wrong answers in improvisation, I don't want to conform, and this is already being carried over into everyday life."

"I have been participating in the courses and lectures of the Itt és Most Társulat for the fifth year. What does the impro give me? 180 minutes of intense relaxation in the company of kind, intelligent people. A total escape from the monotony of everyday life. When I cross the 15th gate of Erkel utca, I arrive in another universe, where I can be anyone, anything can happen. Each occasion is a surprise, you cannot predict how the story will turn out that day. It's like Kinder eggs, only more exciting and not fattening."

"The Morning Fun Game gave me unconditional childlike joy and play, self-forgetful play, and the experience of states of consciousness and moods and their alternation that I have rarely experienced anyway, especially so intensely and rapidly alternating, in a safe environment."

"When I first stumbled upon the Here and Now workshop, I had no idea that there was no more ideal place for me to recharge my creative energies. It frees you, makes you more attentive to others and lets your imagination fly. It teaches you the power of silence, gesture and voice - optimal self-expression."

"This team really knows their stuff! 😉
With a professional, well-prepared, professionally and personally well-trained teaching staff, with colorful performances for both children and adults. I like to study with them, because with the knowledge I learn from them in the courses and the experiences I have with them, I can assert myself better in other areas of life. It helps me release my inhibitions, express my feelings, find the words I'm looking for faster and be more flexible. I love improv, the world really needs this genre, because it strengthens our uniqueness and it is the only chance for us to control our lives. I will be free by the end of the day and that will define my week. Thanks."

Improv Academy participant

"Why do I like to improvise? At first, I was skeptical when a friend invited me to the group to see if it would work for me, I would definitely be better at traditional acting, when you have to play a specific, predictable role. I fell in love with improv because…

  1. it disconnects me from my thoughts and everyday problems
  2. creative, develops spontaneity, reactions, attention to others, which can also be used in real-life situations
  3. develops vocabulary
  4. as a language teacher, I can also draw inspiration from a game in my work
  5. the company is good, you can e.g. to get to know other sole proprietors and like-minded people"

"I love going to these courses so much that I would prescribe it for everyone or give it as a gift. Perfect relaxation. When I'm there, it really happens in the "here and now", it's such an enjoyable, fast-paced, filling game, you can turn everything off in the meantime. It is also excellent for self-knowledge. You can put away your learned and practiced roles and be a fun kid again, play a hysterical boss, anything you can think of and even have a good laugh about it."

Super friendly and good company."
