IMPROV 102: Scenework (Saturday)

IMPROV 102: Scenework (Saturdays)

Saturdays 10:00AM – 1:00PM

This eight-week course focuses on one of the most critical elements of great improv comedy, which is scenework. And trusting yourself, as well as your scene partner, is the first step. Building on the skills learned in IMPROV 101: Foundations, you'll focus on starting scenes with decisive initiations and confident stage presence. Concepts like agreement and group mind will be taken to the next level as you explore character development and emotional investment within games and scenes. IMPROV 102: Scenework concludes with a class show where you'll get the chance to show off your newfound skills in building strong comedic scenes.
