Feb 26th Improv Fundamentals 1 (Six Week Class)
The fundamentals of improv are deceptively simple. You can learn them in a few hours. (But we warn you, it can take a lifetime to master them.) Improv is a practice that you can engage in onstage and off.
Support your partner. Listen. Blurt! Weave a fresh, engaging story out of thin air. Is improv comedy? Sometimes, sure. But more importantly, it’s connection.
For actors, writers, performers, and folks who have never performed.
Prerequisite: Improv 101 or equivalent (talk to us if you aren’t sure.)
-
Feb 27th Improv Fundamentals 2 (Six Week Class)
Continue the journey. Work with your partner to find the game. Find the characters, relationships, and stories that make great improvised scenes happen. Get out of your head and into the where!
Prerequisite: Fundamentals 1 or equivalent (talk to instructor)
