Specialties
The YES! Lab offers a space where anyone can learn the art of improvisation.
The YES! Lab’s purpose is to help develop the most well-rounded and well-prepared improvisers that Denver has ever seen. Students who leave The YES! Lab will be able to handle anything that comes their way on stage and off, as the rules of improvisation relate directly to life.
Improv is a performance-based art form, but at The YES! Lab, we are devoted to showing you how the simple act of saying «Yes,» the cornerstone of all improvisation, is applicable to your everyday life. You need not be a performer or someone with any thoughts of being on stage to do improv. Anyone can do this.
The YES! Lab is thrilled to call the Laundry on Lawrence their home for workshops, located at 2701 Lawrence, Street, Denver, CO 80 205. For shows, The YES! Lab performs on the first and third Thursdays of every month at Voodoo Comedy Playhouse, located at 1260 22nd Street, Denver, CO 80 205.
History
Established in 2010.
The YES! Lab came to the Denver scene in October of 2010 as a new improv training center focusing on teaching how the rules of improv relate to life.
Each of the instructors of the training center have extensive backgrounds in teaching and performing improv in Chicago, LA and Denver. All of the instructors were originally working as independent improv instructors in the Denver market, but liked the idea of coming together to combine their points of view on the craft into a full functioning training center for all to come and learn the art of improvisation.
