Ethan has been studying Improv for over ten years and has graduated from the Upright Citizens Brigade training program, the Improv Asylum training program and was selected to be part of an Improv Asylum House Team performing at the IA theatre in Boston. Additionally, he has taken classes with Kismet Improv and members of the legendary Improv team “The Stepfathers” based out of NYC. He hosts a weekly podcast called “No Outlet” and cannot wait to see you in class!
Ethan is an excellent teacher/coach. He is so skilled in helping the students learn the technical aspects of Improv, but also at bringing out each person’s creative strengths while also building confidence. I will be recommending this class to anyone who asks: “where can I find a great Improv class?”
“Ethan was a terrific coach. He is so patient and supportive, but he never stops pushing us to do our best.”
“Every practice and every game we did brought me a better understanding of your talents and a deeper appreciation of you each as people. Ethan is an amazing instructor, every class was fun and well-run, and his ability to guide us and bring out the best in each other and ourselves really brings it all together.”
“This class is so much fun, and I am learning a great deal about how improv works. Ideas like “yes and”, and concepts like close listening, paying attention to, and supporting, your improv partners and building out a scene are useful in daily life as well as in performance. Ethan is knowledgeable, extremely supportive, and a great teacher. I highly recommend this class for anyone who wants to enjoy themselves, interact with others, and learn some new skills.”
“His teaching style is very clear, in that, he explains the technique incrementally. When applying this to our stage work, it flows easily. I particularly enjoy his analogy on how to build an Improv scene! His upbeat, encouraging personality and willingness to answer any questions is an added bonus! Highly Recommend this class!”
” I signed up for NEIA’s Improv class on a whim, and I am so happy I did! While I’ve done a lot of performing over the years, this is my first attempt at Improv. Ethan is a natural teacher – well prepared, enthusiastic , creative and kind. I can’t wait to sign up for the next class! “
