Improv 201 Grad Show
Presented by: ArtsQuest
Join the students of Improv 201 at their grad show!
Improv 201 builds on the basic principles of improv and helps you make strong comedic choices, taking you from learning the ‘game’ of the scene to The Harold, the longform improv structure invented by Del Close and used to train improvisers all over the country.
Justin Passino has been performing improv since 2016. He studied at both Artsquest and The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in NY where he was accepted into the Advanced Study/UCB Academy program. Past instructors include Will Hines, James Dwyer, Cathryn Moudon, Nicole Drespel, John Timothy and Alexandra Dickson. He has been coaching/teaching improv both independently and through Artsquest since 2018. His teaching/performing philosophy focuses largely on finding “Game”, playing with patterns and strong character commitment.
Justin performs regularly with his teams Staycation, We Love Dogs, The Great Old Ones and Creamy & Crunchy all around the Lehigh Valley. He has also performed in Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, D.C., Lancaster and one time at a Seafood Festival in Easton. You can also find him performing in the House Teams program at Steelstacks.
When he’s not performing or teaching, Justin enjoys trying to keep his house plants alive and re-watching HBO’s Succession for the 100th time.
