The Eventé is a long-form improv format centered around a single, specific event suggested by the audience. The performance explores the event's characters, relationships, and storylines in a non-linear way, often starting from the event itself and then flashing back to the moments leading up to it.
 
*Kickstand's improv track is a four-level program followed by Advanced Study, where students can learn and apply their skills to different formats. Each week of class builds on the previous one, and each Level builds on the Level before.

*Advanced Study includes 6 weeks of instruction with 2 and a half hours of instruction each week and a class show!

ABOUT DIANA KOLSKY
(She/Her)
Diana Kolsky is one of those actor-writer-comedian-designer-improviser-artist types. A life-long creator, she cut her longform improv teeth at the Upright Citizens Brigade NY. She's performed at many comedy festivals across these continental United States, made some forgettable media cameos, dabbled in stand-up, pitched myriad undeveloped TV shows to multiple networks, and her path to hell is surely paved in the unshot screenplays that paper the walls of her brain. She loves performing and teaching comedy right here in her hometown of Portland, OR, where she resides with two humans and one oversized dog. Headshot © Emily Ulsh, 2026
