DETAILS
- 8 Week Improv Class (7-10pm)
Start your comedic journey in this 8-week intro course to long form improvisation. Longform only takes 1 suggestion from an audience to create an improvised piece as opposed to the gamier-many-suggestion-driven short form improv of "Whose Line is it Anyway".
You and your class will set off together on an adventure to make collaborative art... from strangers to a team, just like that! This Level 1 class has an ensemble focus where teamwork & group mind are the goal. You will learn basic stagecraft, how to create a stage picture, as well as long form openings and games and even improvising scenes! Authenticity and support are prized as opposed to clever and funny although funny will still happen.
Level 1 students will also learn two of the earliest Spolin invented longforms: Story Theater and The Dream. Your class will also have one short performance/demonstration at the end of the session. Come play and have fun, for 3 hours a week, once a week, for 8 weeks.
