Learnimprov – Just the first improv game site
In-person improv is one of the things I miss the most with the pandemic. Fortunately a lot of enthusiasts have adapted with web technologies and have been streaming shows on Zoom- I joined a team recently that has actually never performed in person!<p>In NY&#x27;s scene there&#x27;s a surprising amount of software engineers who do improv as a creative outlet. I started taking classes at Magnet Theater about 1.5 years ago and it&#x27;s been a great way to pull my brain out of work. More specifically, it&#x27;s nice to enter a mental space where I need to empty out my mind, listen to what my scene partner is saying, and progress a situation that&#x27;s presented to me- its close to the concept of mushin[1] but in an acting context.<p>Improv theaters in NYC have (for the most part) been suffering financially, and if you&#x27;re in the area, once things are in a more normal state, I strongly advise checking out shows, whether it&#x27;s UCB, Magnet, PIT, or any of the other theaters! Some places (namely Magnet) also do twitch streams if you&#x27;re looking for something to watch on a random night.<p>[1]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Mushin_(mental_state)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Mushin_(mental_state)</a>
