Jared Jeffries has been performing improv for over 10 years. He previously taught improv at the iO theatre in Chicago (birthplace of modern longform) and at the CIC theater, where he co-developed the curriculum. He’s taught improv to everyone from middle-schoolers to prison inmates. Jared believes that improv is a philosophy of mindfulness and openness that improves all the other areas of a person’s life. Everything that makes someone a better improviser also makes them a more open-hearted, well rounded human being. He brings this philosophy to every class he teaches.
