Rare Bird Show

COACHING
Rare Bird Show and its individual members are available for coaching and workshops.
We'll evaluate your needs and tailor to you. This is the perfect thing for beginning groups, side projects, college improv groups, or high school improv clubs, or even sketch groups looking to use improvisation to develop material.

Contact us at contact@rarebirdshow.com if you have any questions or want more information.
We have experience in short-form, long-form, sketch comedy,
improvised tragedy, numerous improv structures, puppeteering, mime, and more.

We can do personalized workshops where you let us know some issues you've been dealing with, what is working and what isn't, and we put together a workshop designed especially for you. We can offer preformatted workshops that we've taught before on such topics as status, finding the game, character development, and the Harold. We can also offer longer-range coaching, where we work with you over many sessions to guide your devlopment. It's all about working closely with you to develop the best educational session. Fees are negotiable based on your situation.
