IMPROV 1
WE'VE MOVED! PLEASE VISIT IMPOSTERSTHEATER.COM FOR CURRENT IMPROV AND COMEDY WRITING CLASSES IN CLEVELAND OHIO AND EMAIL IMPOSTERSCOMEDY AT GMAIL.COM WITH ANY QUESTIONS

Description

This course is an introduction to long-form improvisation, based on the style developed by The iO Theater and The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. We will start with a focus on the fundamentals - agreement, listening, and support - as well as the thing that should come across in every scene: the fun. We will also get into things like establishing the reality of the scene, connecting with your scene partner, and heightening based off game/premise.

This class is designed for beginners up to those with some long form improv experience.

 

Each week we will develop your group and individual skills through scene work and exercises. 

The class ends in a graduation show.
