Berkeley Improv

I loved taking "Come as You Are", a class aimed at BIPOC improvisers. The class had a mix of skill levels, but it was a supportive learning environment full of approachable exercises and rich discussions. I learned so much not only from Eisa, whose teaching and encouragement brought out so much boldness and connection in us all, but from my fellow students as well!

Hired Kat for my birthday party and it did not disappoint. Cannot recommend her enough. So much fun and laughter, what more can you ask for. :)

I've always loved watching improv and always said it was something I wanted to try. I finally mustered up the courage to sign up for Improv 101 - and I'm so thankful I did. What a supportive, liberating and just downright fun environment the instructors put together.. A freeing space where you can experience an absolutely liberating amount of silliness, but all with purpose. If you're not used to putting yourself out there but would like to find a way to start, this is for you. If you were the funny kid in class and are looking for ways to rekindle that spark, this is for you. Whether you're "funny" or not, you're going to enjoy it!

I have been meaning to sign up for Berkeley Improv classes for over a year and finally did it! I wish I had started sooner! I took a 4-class 101 package and had the BEST time. Kat is an incredible teacher - full of wisdom and fun without being over the top cheesy or obnoxious. I signed up for more classes and plan to make improv part of my life for the foreseeable future.

Definitely do it!! I had an amazing time in improv 101 and plan to do improv 201 next month. Kat is an incredible teacher with such positive energy. She built such a supportive environment where we applauded for our mistakes, stayed present, and had fun playing and connecting with each other in every class.She is also VERY good at burrito puns. Ok.. that's a wrap. ;)

Improv 101 taught by Kat was absolutely amazing. I had so much fun that my face hurt from smiling and laughing the whole time. I learned a ton and made some great friends. It was so fabulous I was seriously bummed when the series ended, but I've talked a handful of friends into joining me for the next session because it was that great. If you're looking to expand your skills, stop filtering your creativity, and become a bit more bold and expressive, this class is definitely for you.

I took the 101 improv series with Kat and it was AMAZING! I had so much fun, and she did a great job creating a safe and welcoming space to come out of your shell and interact with strangers in a new way.

For my 60th birthday, my sister arranged an improv session with friends at our home. HILARIOUS! Eisa led our group. Did group games and little skits, and Eisa made everyone feel comfy. Obviously improv is useful for team building, but this was an amazing way to celebrate a birthday. We laughed the entire time!!!! Highly recommend Eisa and Berkley Improv.

I absolutely loved Ahran Lee's "Play as Liberation" workshop for Global Majority (BIPOC) improvisers. Ahran's passion for improv is contagious. The class helped me let go of perfectionism, be more authentic, and make bolder choices outside of class. I'm a beginner improviser, and I felt very comfortable in Ahran's class. She creates a safe container by first helping us to connect with our bodies. I left the class feeling energized and empowered!I recommended the class to a friend. She went and now she's hooked on Ahran's classes!

I had a wonderful experience taking Improv for Real Life. I had never done improv before and didn't know what to expect. Turns out that improv is SUUUPER fun and hilarious! I felt my confidence building each week both inside and outside of class, which was really cool. Each class was well-structured and consisted of a variety of exercises that were based on what participants hoped to get out of the experience. Kat is a fantastic teacher who created a supportive and safe environment. She helped make embracing spontaneity with a group of strangers feel not only less intimidating, but super fun. The month of weekly classes flew by and I was sad when it was over, but I'm leaving the experience with more confidence and some awesome new friends! I hope to come back soon.
