How Can I Start Performing?

There are three approaches:

Take classes - start taking classes in improv to develop your skills and to meet others that might want to start performing

Join a Troupe - there are troupes that already exist. Ask them about auditions or befriend them to learn more

Start a Troupe - Get others together, or advertise for auditions, and begin a troupe. This is a lot harder than it sounds, but it gives you the artistic leeway to find your own way and create your own voice
