Advanced skills for scenes that are beautiful, heartfelt and hilarious.
In this mini-course for advanced players we’ll be exploring how to play relationship-based improv – where the scene is happening between the characters on stage in the moment.
We’ll be exploring exercises that allow us to deepen relationships and the narratives that are told between the characters on the stage.
This style of improv can be very grounded AND very funny – because the audience gets invested in the characters and what happens to them.
Students will be offered the option of receiving personal feedback on this course.
Who is this for?
Our mini-courses are for improvisers who want to raise their level by developing more advanced skills.
