While the Asylum is known for its improv, sketch, and stand up comedy classes, the training center’s offerings have expanded to include acting, screenwriting, writing for television, acting for camera, voice over, directing for camera, music, and dance. Our goal is to become a landmark institution for performance-focused training. Traditionally, the Asylum’s demographic has been post- college age students looking to pursue creative endeavors for personal development rather than professional. A branded partnership between our organizations would signal to the post-college / adult education student market that there are meaningful opportunities to explore creative pursuits after one has left higher education, or if one has chosen to not pursue higher education at all. How does this benefit Emerson? By jointly marketing these classes, a revenue sharing plan can be put in place. Secondly, when students inquire about classes unavailable to them, Emerson will now have a logical place to direct them. Lastly, as the Asylum Performance Institute continues to grow, this will afford Emerson faculty an avenue to generate income for themselves, as they will be able to work as teachers within our organization.
