WHAT MAKES THE BNI DIFFERENT? History Since 1958 we’ve been performing and teaching improvisation and sketch comedy and in our long history we keep coming back to the same base principles which are time tested. Our founder, Dudley Riggs, is considered one of the founders of the performance art form of Improvisation in the U.S. Our own space Creative Safety Critical Mass lots of students which gives you the opportunity to meet others like yourself or unlike yourself. This leads to great networking and a place to meet others with whom you may perform. Opportunity to perform on the historic BNW stage Ego-less instructors and leaders Our instructors are from all walks of life and all perform / act and/or are committed to life long study of improvisation. Rub shoulders with best improv / sketch actors in TC and U.S. We are not married to ‘rules of improv’ – we believe in a ‘bigger / more global’ definition of improv. Truly help each individual student find their creative gifts. Believe everyone can improvise Believe students bring own expertise to the process – i.e., we/our instructors do not “know it all” Access to our other classes Professionally run theatre...high standards and expectations for our actors and employees. Real, live humans study with us…not just artsy freaks Lots of history and examples of our students doing unique, great things -- forming troupes, fringe shows, getting promotions, etc.
