What our students say
“I started as an audience member, laughing my butt off and never believing for a second that I’d ever be on stage doing the same thing. I was in total awe at the way the improvisers could generate so much comedy out of nothing, watching it come alive. I took the classes and made friends for life there. I think it’s safe to say improv has changed my life for the better.”
“It’s like no one knows what they are doing. In a world of know-it-alls, this is refreshing. It’s the longest hobby I’ve ever stuck with. Must be the constant support. 5 stars. Through improv I discovered that I’m naturally more feelings based. The last 10 years I’ve been building my identity around being a rational robot. Improv destroyed this. Now I cry in showers, but it’s better than nothing!”
“Yes, And” Scholarship
Here at TIC, we teach that improv is an inclusive and accessible form of theatre where anyone and everyone can play a part. We're dedicated to practising what we preach, so we want to reduce the barriers for people to experience the fun of spontaneous storytelling.
The "Yes, And" Scholarship will allow promising individuals to take our Foundational Course (Improv 101) for free. It is TIC's hope that this needs-based Scholarship will help to encourage greater diversity and accessibility in the Singaporean improv scene. For more details, please click below!
Scholarship Recipients
Meet Al Hafiz Sanusi , one of The Improv Company’s first recipients of the “Yes, And” Scholarship! By day, he works as a QA analyst; but by night, he embraces everything creative ranging from writing to acting. Learning improv was something he wanted to pick up in 2020, but the pandemic situation meant that he had to relook at his finances and family priorities.
Inspired by the different coaches here at TIC, he hopes to one day teach improv to different communities in Singapore and be a great local ambassador of the craft!
“The greatest learning point for me has been to not second guess yourself and get out of your own head. It's a magical moment when you see scene partners let go and listen to each other.”
Meet Anun, a recipient of The Improv Company’s “Yes, And” Scholarship! Anun has done drama back in junior college and briefly learnt about improv through Forum Theatre. He liked ad-libbing during theatre, and the idea of creating something from scratch was fascinating to him.
He has interests in improv and music, and would like to mesh the 2 art forms together to tell stories. Having completed 101, he genuinely appreciates the coaches for creating a safe environment to learn and looks forward to learning more.
