How Can I Get Involved?
See this Google Doc on getting an indie team together. It talks about forming a team, making practices, finding shows to do - both at WGIS and elsewhere.

How Do I Get On A Team?
We pick in-person teams in Los Angeles from students about every 6 months. Anyone who has taken any class is eligible. There are no auditions. The owners (Will, Jim and Sarah) pick based on the admittedly very subjective categories of improv ability, support of fellow students/players and percevied availability to practice (like, is the person around? already committed to other teams?) We ask our teachers and coaches to make suggestions. There is nothing students can do to lobby their case! Believe it or not, we do this to make it emotionally easier on students -- no auditions, no essays, no submissions.
For online classes, we no longer have teams. Instead we will have a program called "labs" in which students can pay the costs of being in a short-term ensemble (like a reasonably priced class which has a number of Twitch performances).
