Description |
| Foundations of
Improv |
Foundations of Improv is a great workshop for someone who
has never taken improv, as well as someone who is looking to
learn a new improv style. This class focuses on the basics
of improv, how to give simple, clear information to get a
scene started, how to be changed by information given to
you, and mostly to get out of your head, leave your inner
critic at the door, and have fun on stage.
prerequisite: none
By the end of a 5 week session a student will know:
- Relaxation: Through warm-up (vocal & physical) they are given tools to relax
under pressure and be "present".
- Having fun while frying. Letting go of the "getting it right"
syndrome.
- Embracing Failure, Mistakes are truly Gifts.
- Basic Stage Presence: the student can be seen and heard, is not
constantly upstaging or turning back on audience.
- Learn to build a scene by learning how to CROW (establish Character,
Relationship and the Objective and Where of the scene) through a series of
exercises where they learn CROW through their bodies and not just
intellectually. They will be able to execute CROW or at least know when it isn't
there. They will have an understanding of Building Characters, Emotions,
Relationships, Objectives, Where's, Endowments, & Narrative.
- Saying Yes – able to move action and not block. Playing first offer
out all the way until it organically flips into something else. Getting in tune
with their own impulses and starting from that clear space – then learning to
accept others impulses.
- Ensemble/making your partner look good, sharing control. Clicking into
the Group Mind and getting out of your own way, serving your partner, making
your partner look good,
- Letting go of Control: not planning ahead.
