Intro to NYC style Improv: Heart Logic with Ralf Jean-Pierre at Mountcastle Forum
TODAY 7:30 PM · Mountcastle Forum
Join us Tuesday September 8 at 7:30pm at Mountcastle Forum for “Intro to NYC style Improv: Heart Logic.” Link in bio! An improv intensive led by Ralf Jean-Pierre. In this class you'll learn Ralf's approach to improv comedy which de-emphasizes “game” in favor of emotionally connected, physical play that leads with extreme empathetic, almost telepathic, connection with your fellow players. For those interested in the dumbest kind of funny. Long-form NY/Chicago style improv, but very clown-coded. Ralf Jean-Pierre is a Haitian-American rapper-songwriter, actor, and comedian from Brooklyn, NY. He earned a BFA in Performing Arts from the Savannah College of Art and Design. He has studied improv comedy at the People’s Improv Theater, and has studied clown with Christopher Bayes, Virginia Scott, and Eric Davis. Ralf was a member of North Coast (https://www.northcoastnyc.com/), NYC’s premier and hip-hop improv comedy team from 2019-2024. Since 2022 Ralf has hosts the weekly improv comedy podcast No Suggestion (https://www.radiofreebrooklyn.org/show/no-suggestion/), where thoughtful, meandering conversations are turned into improv comedy with the best improvisors in NYC. Ralf currently teaches as an adjunct professor for the Brooklyn College BFA and BA, NYU Tisch BFA, and Columbia University MFA acting programs.
