Course Description
Summary
Advanced Improvisation is an in-depth study of improvised comedy scene work. The central theme of this course is finding and playing "Game." In order to find a Game in a long form improvised scene, you typically need to be able to answer three questions:
What is the situation?
What is the first unusual thing?
If this is true, then what else is true.
We'll be building upon the basics learned in Theater Games and Improvisation (keeping things simple, listening, reacting, agreement, accepting offers, commitment, playing at the top of your intelligence, being specific) to help us find Game in both 'premise-based' and 'organic' scenes.
This course emphasizes character development through exercises and scene work, while introducing advanced improv theory and technique. You will be encouraged to make strong emotional and character choices. This course is fully in-person and has THREE class shows.
