WIT TRAINING | What the Students Say

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS


"Personally, the classes have taught me to listen more effectively, feel free to explore my creative side, and to see the unique (not always comedic but often) pieces of life. Through classes and operatives I've gotten to know some great people, too. I am only a month into my first course but am already seeing the benefits of adding improv into my life. I look forward to my classes for several reasons: I get to express myself, I enjoy meeting and 'playing' with new people, and I love laughing and having comedy in my life."

"It's an outlet for stress and something to look forward to. I enjoy being creative and expressing that creativity through something that I can enjoy with others."

"It has helped me to be more in the moment in everyday life."

"WIT's classes make me a stronger person."

"The people in my class are different than the people I associate with in my day to day life. It's so awesome to become friends with so many kinds of intelligent, witty, and passionate persons."

"It's a fun and unique social outlet to not only meet new people but do something unusual."

"I started taking WIT classes to help me get over my stage fright and to think on my feet better. I've taken many drama classes and other things over the years, but this has helped the most. The skills you learn in improv are really life skills - they are transferrable to so many situations. I am always seeking to get outside of my comfort zone and the classes help me do that."

"WIT makes me laugh and play. It allows the creative juices to flow when class is in session, consequentially allowing the creative juice to drip steadily into 'real life'"

"I learn a lot in the classes, and it is a great release laughter is good for your health"

"Improv is incredibly helpful in perceiving the world and expanding upon your range in viewing people and situations around you."

"WIT is helping me get in touch with my inner actor and supporting the development of my creativity. The classes are also helping to build my confidence to speak in public."

"Once a week, I get to hang out with a few of my friends and make a total ass of myself I learned a lot about how other people react to me based on my behavior, good and bad (in my opinion), which I did not expect."

"The atmosphere in the classes is always very supportive."

"I don't have a very interesting job. I work in politics and most of the time I just get disappointed by everything. A couple nights a week I get to pretend to be a completely different person with WIT. I like being myself and it is fun to be in a place where nobody makes fun of you for doing that."

"I've enjoyed meeting people through WIT classes."

"WIT classes provide that rare environment where what each person brings is embraced and integrated into the organic mystoplasm that becomes improvisational magic."

"Taking classes that interest me and give me opportunities I couldn't find elsewhere get away from my daily work environment."

"I get so much out of the classes: great artistic and creative outlet, cool people - they provide a great confidence boost. I also love being able to see the shows and work a bit behind the scenes to see what it takes to pull a show together."

"It is not only a ton of fun to do improv, but it also teaches life lessons."

"Improve acting/humor/improv skills. Meet similar-minded people in a relaxed, stress-free environment."

"Reprieve from the predictable; practical knowledge of the magic that makes improv "work"; freedom to play well with others."

"Made some good friends. Gotten more comfortable on stage."

"Classes break me out of the routine of the workweek."

"WIT classes are my group therapy. For serious. In all honesty, I work in int'l development and it's easy to get a serious save the world complex - even to the point of feeling guilty having fun. WIT reminds me that if you can't have fun, there's no point in trying to save the world."

"I took only one class and I already feel funnier and can have smart, funny convos with friends."

"I've been able to discover a new passion and hone skills I didn't know I had."

"I've wanted to take improv classes for many years, but I've never lived in a city where they were offered with any regularity. I finally moved here and was thrilled to find WIT! Any city with a non-profit like WIT is truly blessed! There are *very* few of them, and I consider myself to be very lucky to be living in a city where improv it taught with such devoted people running the program!"

"I benefited greatly from the introductory course I took with WIT. I would love to take more!"

"Three hours a week of pure playtime. I also enjoy meeting like-minded people. It also helps me to continually be loose in my everyday life."

"I have only been to one class so far but am very excited to go to the rest and have already learned a bunch I did not know."
