Incubator welcomes and encourages improvisors of all experience levels, and is free and open to the public. Whether you're a seasoned "pro" or an improv novice, the Philadelphia Improv Incubator is a chance to strengthen and cultivate your skills, and potentially meet your future teammates and coaches. Three-to-four hours is a long time, so obviously improvisors are free to come and go as you please. We sometimes do a rock-themed session called rock*u*bator, wherein milkshake will coax the Joan Jett/Freddie Mercury/Lou Reed/PJ Harvey out of each of you. That includes vocal warm-ups, and usually only happens in the cooler months because milkshake's amp seems heavier in the summer. Sometimes there's drums. if Incubator has a theme song, it's "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead. If we have a mascot, it's any person associated with outer space engaging in earthly activities. That and Inky, the blue ghost from Pac-Man, unsurprisingly. Your donations to contribute to the room rental are appreciated. A few words about "newbies". It really helps if you've taken an improv class, or a couple of workshops. You won't be -taught- how to improvise, we just provide you with opportunities to DO your improvising, and to observe and enjoy the improvising of others.
