We improvise everyday of our lives, we just
don't realize it, but as actors we must be seasoned improvisers at a very
young age.
This class will teach you how to improv
and apply it in a "practical real world way" which will indeed sharpen
your skills as an actor.
In this six week program, students will
learn the fundamental skills required to improvise basic games and scenes.
Attention will be
given to the concepts of story, ensemble/group
work and character, thru exercises, games and scene work. They will learn
agreement,
teamwork and trust thru the actor's most
creative expression; Improvisation! A solid understanding of the rules
and structure of improv will provide a strong framework for the Actor for
auditions, theater, commercials and television work!
This “workout room” will help develop the actor’s “tool kit” with
an improvised performance at showcase.
