Class Description:  

Learn the basics of improvisational theater (acting) in a small, relaxed class.  Course material includes theater games, skill building exercises, and related acting exercises.

We focus on storytelling and cooperative-group acting. There is no need to be funny and no pressure to make people laugh. Humor may arise out of a scene or may not.

 

Class Focus:

The games and exercises used in the class will help performers develop their expressiveness while learning the basics of building characters and telling stories.  Students will acquire a deep understanding of the elements of a good acting scene and a strong understanding of the basics of improvisational acting technique.

 

 Class Outline:

Weeks 1:  Acting, play and games (developing expressiveness)

Week   2: Serious play- where, what, who

Week   3: Playing games- theater games for kids

Week   4: Scene work and performance review

Weeks 5: Class Performance

 

 

Note: Class dates may be adjusted due to holidays based on class consensus.
