Intermediate Performance Course
This course is designed for folks who want to perfect their game play in long form improv. This class will cover:
-How to edit a scene properly. Using sweep edits, how do you listen for the game of the scene and know when to end a scene?
-How to do walk-ons and tag-outs and group games so that they enhance a scene and not detract from the quality of the original scene idea.
-How to begin to tell a long form narratively, so that our characters and scene ideas can mix and mingle as the long form unfolds.
-How to make strong initiations and character choices and stick with your early ideas and trust your instincts.
-How to perfect our environment work. Where are we and how do we create a full image for our audience?
At the end of 8 weeks you will perform at the Fall Showcase!!
