Improvisation is the building block of all performance. Students will learn to create theatre out of thin air, in the moment and on the spot. An in-depth exploration of improvisation as a catalyst for theatrical development and presentation, they will learn to harness their impulses and build memorable characters and scenarios using a wide range of improv skills and techniques. Both “short form” and “long form” styles will be explored. A high level of in-class participation will be required culminating in two public improv shows.
If you’ve ever imagined the thrill of walking the tight rope without a safety net, this is the course for you.
