In improv and in life, there is rarely a perfect choice. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t make strong ones. It is so easy to lose faith in what you are doing, to sabotage your own ideas before they are even formed. Making a choice and sticking to it is very valuable, onstage and off. In our second level, you will concentrate on making clear decisions, sticking to them and supporting others as they do the same. You will be bold in your leading and your following, becoming more at ease in front of an audience.
This course focuses on the building block of any improv show: the scene. Over twelve weeks, you will be introduced to common tools and building blocks of scene work. You will look at how to use a suggestion, be inspired by your partner and how your characters can agree or disagree, react emotionally and be consistent without feeling like you are following a formula. Examining these ideas through lots of practice and feedback will make you confident and relaxed, knowing what makes scenes fun to play and fun to watch.
This course finishes with a voluntary performance of scenes and games directed by your teacher.
